Driggs–Reed Memorial Airport (ICAO: KDIJ, FAA LID: DIJ, formerly U59) is a city-owned public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) north of the central business district of Driggs, a city in Teton County, Idaho, United States. This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned DIJ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned DIJ to Dijon Airport in Dijon, France).
