Metz–Nancy–Lorraine Airport or Aéroport de Metz–Nancy–Lorraine (IATA: ETZ, ICAO: LFJL) is an airport serving the Lorraine région of France. It is located in Goin, 16.5 km southeast of Metz, (both communes of the Moselle département) and north of Nancy (a commune of Meurthe-et-Moselle). It opened to the public on October 28, 1991 and replaced Nancy–Essey and Metz–Frescaty airports.

The airport used to rebrand itself as "Lorraine Airport" in English only in 2015. In 2023, however, a court ruled that the act violated the Toubon law, and the airport reverted to its French name "Lorraine Aéroport".
