Taylor County Airport (IATA: MDF, ICAO: KMDZ, FAA LID: MDZ) is a county owned public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Medford, a city in Taylor County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]

It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2015–2019, which categorized it as a basic general aviation airport. Although no commercial airlines service the airport, it does serve general aviation traffic, including business and leisure fliers. Hangars are available for lease and fuel is also available.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned MDZ by the FAA and MDF by the IATA[2] (which assigned MDZ to El Plumerillo Airport in Mendoza, Argentina[3]).
