Estonska Sovjetska Socijalistička Republika (estonski: Eesti Nõukogude Sotsialistlik Vabariik; ruski: Эстонская Советская Социалистическая Республика), skraćeno Estonska SSR ili ESSR, bila je administrativna jedinica bivšeg Sovjetskog Saveza[1][2] koja je obuhvaćala teritorij današnje Estonije, a postojala je formalno od 1940. do 1941. te od 1944. do 1991. godine. Estonska SSR formalno je utemeljena kao nasljednica Republike Estonije 21. srpnja 1940. godine, nedugo nakon sovjetske invazije i okupacije u jeku Drugog svjetskog rata. Nakon postavljanja marionetske staljinističke vlade,[3] koja je uživala podršku Crvene armije, na čelo Estonije, nezakonito imenovani premijer Johannes Vares proglasio je Estoniju dijelom Sovjetskog Saveza, a Estonska SSR je i formalno postala savezna republika Sovjetskog Saveza 6. kolovoza 1940. godine.[4][5] Sovjetska okupacija nakratko je prekinuta 1941. godine kada su Nijemci okupirali Estoniju i upravljali njome u sklopu Reichskommissariata Ostland do 1944. godine, kada je Sovjetski Savez ponovo preuzeo kontrolu nad Estonijom.
Većina svjetskih zemalja[6] nikada nije de iure priznala sovjetsku okupaciju Estonije (i ostalih baltičkih republika) te su samo de facto priznavali sovjetsku upravu ili ju nisu uopće priznavali.[7][8] Estonska vlada u egzilu bila je ta koja je uživala priznanje većine svjetskih država te je ona formalno predstavljala Estoniju na međunarodnoj sceni, mada u izrazito ograničenom kapacitetu.[9][10] Ova politika nepriznavanja omogućila je Estoncima da se pozivaju na načelo pravnog kontiniuteta estonskog suvereniteta prema kojem je Estonija, de iure, ostala suverena zemlja u periodu od 1940. do 1991. godine.[11]
Dana 16. studenog 1988. godine, Estonska SSR postala je prva savezna republika koja je proglasila nezavisnost od centralne vlasti u Moskvi. Dana 30. ožujka 1990. godine, novoizabrani parlament proglasio je da je Republika Estonija bila protuzakonito okupirana od 1940. godine i formalno proglasio početak prijelaznog perioda do potpune obnove estonskog suvereniteta. Korištenje svih sovjetskih simbola kao i naziva Estonska SSR formalno je dokinuto 8. svibnja 1990. godine. Estonija je 20. kolovoza 1991. godine formalno proglasila obnovu punog suvereniteta, koji je Sovjetski Savez priznao 6. rujna iste godine.
