Methods, devices, and systems for airfield luminaire obstruction detection are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a controller for airfield luminaire obstruction detection, comprising a memory, and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to receive a signal from a light sensor of an airfield luminaire, determine, based on the signal, whether a lens of the airfield luminaire is obstructed by debris, and activate, based on whether the lens is obstructed, at least one of a vibration mechanism of the airfield luminaire and a heating mechanism of the airfield luminaire based on a temperature of the airfield luminaire to aid in clearing the debris.
