The Athens International Airport Archaeological Collection is a museum in the Athens International Airport in Spata, Attica, Greece.

The collection was established in 2003 and houses many ancient artefacts which were uncovered during construction work at the site which was once a flourishing agricultural area in ancient times.

The museum was opened by Greek Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos and Transport Minister Christos Verelis and at that time it had 172 pieces, notably amphoras, tools, engravings and bas-relief sculpture dating from the Neolithic to the Byzantine eras.^[1]
