North Battleford/Hamlin Airport, (TC LID: CJD4), was located 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) northeast of Hamlin, Saskatchewan, Canada.

This airfield was built under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during World War II as the R1 - primary relief field - for RCAF Station North Battleford. Pilots trained here using Airspeed Oxford aircraft; it is listed as operating from 4 September 1941 to 30 March 1945.[2] More recently, one runway continued to be maintained for use in agricultural flight training by Battlefords Airspray[3]

As of 15 March 2007, this airport is not usable and has been removed from the Canada Flight Supplement.[2][4]
