Chapman Aerodrome( IATA : EZ2, TC LID : CEZ2) is a registered aerodrome located on the shores of the Blackstone River in the Yukon, Canada.

A 2017 review by Stantec, recommended closure of the airstrip alongside four other remote airstrips, citing limited use and the better location of Ogilvie Aerodrome for emergency access along the Dempster Highway, [2] resulting in pushback from the Yukon Chapter of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association [3]

Subsequently, a 2021 investment plan for Yukon aviation noted that the airstrip was in poor condition and impacted by melting permafrost. [4]
