Wards Airfield is a former World War II airfield near Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The airfield was abandoned after the war and was developed into the Waigani area of Port Moresby. The airfield was named in honor of Australian Lt. Col. K. H. Ward, who was involved with its construction and was KIA on August 27, 1942, during the fighting at Isurava on the Kokoda Trail. It was also known as "6-Mile or 6-Mile Drome" by Americans, for its distance from Port Moresby.
