The Pryor Field Regional Airport is a historic airport in Decatur, Alabama. It currently functions as a public airport, but has always been historic since it was founded in 1941.

Upon completion, the Pryor Field Regional Airport has functioned as a training ground for the flying cadets of the United States Army Air Corps. This became possible after the partnership of the said military arm with the Southern Airways, Inc and Southern Aviation Training School Inc. The training primarily used Fairchild PT-19s, although, there were also a number of PT-17 Stearmans and P-40 Warhawks available. The training services were deactivated in December 1944.

Today, the Pryor Field Regional Airport is the busiest sites of the sort in the state of Alabama. It was also added on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage.
