Newnan Coweta County Airport (ICAO: KCCO, FAA LID: CCO) is a public airport in Coweta County, Georgia, United States.^[1] Located five miles (8 km) south of the central business district of Newnan^[2]^[3], it is surrounded by US 29 and I-85 and 100 acres owned by the county.

The airport name appears in various formats, depending on the source. The FAA refers to it as Newnan Coweta County Airport^[1], but the Georgia DOT airport directory adds a hyphen for Newnan-Coweta County Airport.^[4] The City of Newnan's web site drops "County" from the name, resulting in Newnan-Coweta Airport.^[5] Cowenta County's web site drops both "County" and the hyphen, for Newnan Coweta Airport^[6] and also has a photo of a sign at the airport bearing that name.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Newnan Coweta County Airport is assigned CCO by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.^[7]
