Aeroglen is a small coastal suburb of Cairns in Queensland's Cairns Region, situated approximately 5.7 kilometres north-west of the Cairns city centre. Covering 9.86 square kilometres, the suburb has a population of 405 residents and sits at the foot of Mount Whitfield Conservation Park, bounded by the Barron River to the north and the Coral Sea to the east. The area is low-density residential in character and is closely associated with Cairns Airport, which forms a prominent part of the surrounding landscape along the Captain Cook Highway.
