The Estonian Yachting Union () is the national governing body for the sport of sailing in Estonia, recognised by the World Sailing.
History On 8 July 1928, the Estonian Yachting Union was founded by Haapsalu Purje- ja Sõuklubi, Kuressaare Jahtklubi, Pärnu Jahtklubi, Narva Jahtklubi, Saaremaa Merispordi Selts, and Tallinna Jahtklubi. At that time the Eestimaa Merejahtklubi represented Estonia in the International Yacht Racing Union, however in 1935, Eestimaa Merejahtklubi joined the union, leading to the union overtaking the role as representative of Estonia in the International Yacht Racing Union. In 1991, it rejoined the International Yacht Racing Union. The Estonian Yachting Union newspaper in 1989–1995 was Purjetaja.
In 2024, Sven Nuutmann was elected president of the union.
