The Estonian Ice Hockey Association (Estonian: Eesti Jäähoki Liit) is the national governing body of ice hockey in Estonia. Estonian membership in the International Ice Hockey Federation dated back to the 1930s, which had expired after the annexation of these countries by the Soviet Union in 1940 and 1945 respectively, was renewed after their sovereignty was re-established in the 1990s.
Amateur teams in Estonia are part of the "Independent Ice Hockey League" (HHL).
