Yazoo County Airport (FAA LID: 87I) is five miles northwest of Yazoo City in unincorporated Yazoo County, Mississippi. It is owned by the County of Yazoo.
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 called it a general aviation facility. In 2010 the airport got a $76,931 Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program grant for apron lighting.
The airport has a 5,000 feet (1,500 m) lighted runway that was built in 1993 and upgraded in 2000. As of 2001 the airport houses two agricultural businesses and a repair service. Lynne W. Jeter of the Mississippi Business Journal said in 2001 that the county airport "may have played an important role in landing the multi-phase federal prison project that is currently under expansion," referring to the Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex, Yazoo City.
