Roberts Field was an early airfield serving as Birmingham's primary airport from 1922 until completion of the Birmingham Municipal Airport in 1931.

Roberts Field was located west of Downtown Birmingham and north of Dixie Field.

The field was named to honor Birmingham's Arthur Meredyth Roberts who was killed in action while flying over France in World War I. The Alabama National Guard's 106th Observation Squadron used the airfield.
