Pirita is one of the eight administrative districts () of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.

Pirita occupies a relatively large area, but compared to other districts of Tallinn its population of 19,746 (as of 1 August 2025) is relatively small. It mostly consists of private houses instead of the large blocks of flats typical of some other districts of Tallinn, such as Lasnamäe and Mustamäe. Large parts of the district consist of newly built modern buildings and houses. Pirita Beach is located in Pirita.
