Paldiski is a town and Baltic Sea port located on the Pakri Peninsula in northwestern Estonia. Originally established as a small Swedish port known as Rågervik, it evolved into an important ice-free port upon being incorporated into the Russian Empire in the 18th century.
Following Estonia's independence in 1918, the port experienced a decline in significance, only to regain importance during the Soviet occupation. However, upon Estonia's restoration of independence, it subsequently diminished in significance once again.
The town is home to the terminus of the Tallinn-Paldiski railway line and serves as the administrative center of Lääne-Harju Parish in Harju County.
As of 1 January 2021, the town had a population of 3542.
