Cotton Creek Airstrip in WA services the Parnngurr Aboriginal Community, and is named after the nearby Cotton Creek. Parnngurr is a remote community about 370kms East of Newman on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert in Western Australia.

The community sits within Karlamilyi National Park. The park is the largest in the state, and one of the most rugged and remote in Australia. There are no park facilities outside the Parnngurr and Punmu settlements. 

The Airstrip is used by the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the Police Air Wing and for charter flights.
