Wuxi Shuofang Airport (IATA: WUX, ICAO: ZSWX), commonly known as Sunan Shuofang International Airport, is an airport in the city of Wuxi, Jiangsu, China.

Wuxi Shuofang Airport is the second largest airport in Jiangsu Province and the only profitable airport among the nine airports in Jiangsu Province except Nanjing Airport. The airport currently has two terminals, 23 boarding gates (T1 Terminal 1-12, T2 Terminal 13-23), 26 parking stands (currently under construction), a 3,200-meter-long runway, and an airport flight area grade of 4E.

In May 2023, the airport cargo hub station and part of the supporting second runway taxiway project officially started, which also marked the official start of the airport expansion.
