The Rummu Quarry is a former limestone mine in Estonia, largely flooded with water. It is located in the Rummu settlement of the Lääne-Harju municipality in Harju county.
The quarry is 2.5 km long and 45–75 m wide, stretching in a west-east direction south of the village of Rummu.
The Murru prison near the mine was closed on 1 January 2013. After it was closed, the mine became a popular tourist destination..

- Summer music and sports events were also held there, and initially it was also used for bathing.
- Next to the quarry, the Rummu ash hill is created from the part left over from the mining.
- The video clip of Alan Walker’s Norwegian DJ Faded was partly shot there.
