Parismina Airport( ICAO : MRBP) is an airport that serves Parismina, a coastal town in Siquirres Canton, Limón Province, Costa Rica. In some cases the airport is also referred as Barra de Parismina Airport.

The ICAOairport code or location indicator is a four-letter code designating aerodromes around the world. These codes, as defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization and published in ICAO Document 7910: Location Indicators, are used by air traffic control and airline operations such as flight planning.

An airport is an aerodrome with extended facilities, mostly for commercial air transport. Airports often have facilities to store and maintain aircraft, and a control tower. An airport consists of a landing area, which comprises an aerially accessible open space including at least one operationally active surface such as a runway for a plane to take off or a helipad, and often includes adjacent utility buildings such as control towers, hangars and terminals. Larger airports may have airport aprons, taxiway bridges, air traffic control centres, passenger facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency services. In some countries, the US in particular, they also typically have one or more fixed-base operators, serving general aviation.

Barra del Parismina is a village of about 400 people located on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, at the mouth of the Reventazón River. Parismina is about half way between Tortuguero and Limón on the Tortuguero canals. There is no road to Parismina; it is accessible only by boat or plane and while some cars and motorcycles exist within the village, the paved surface is the runway. Parismina is part of the Canton of Siquirres in the Limón Province. Eco-tourism and sport fishing are the foundation of the village economy.

Parismina Airport has a concrete airstrip of 900 m and very few basic facilities for passengers, although the airport is in downtown Parismina, next to the village's cemetery. The airport is owned and managed by the country's Directorate General of Civil Aviation.

Currently, there are no scheduled domestic services to Parismina airport, but the airfield is constantly served by charter services.
