North Battleford/Hamlin Airport, (TC LID: CJD4), was located 1 nautical mile (2 km) northeast of Hamlin, Saskatchewan, Canada.

This airfield was built under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during World War II as RCAF Auxiliary Field Hamlin. Pilots trained at this field using Airspeed Oxford aircraft; it is listed as operating from September 4, 1941 to February 25, 1944.[1] More recently, one runway continued to be maintained for use in agricultural flight training by Battlefords Airspray.

As of March 15, 2007, this airport is not usable and has been removed from the Canada Flight Supplement.[1][2]
