Keila ( _de. Kegel) is a town and an urban municipality in Harju County in north-western Estonia. It is also the administrative centre of the surrounding rural municipality – Keila Parish.

Being already a borough and supposedly even a town during Middle Ages, Keila became already a borough and then a town in 1 May, 1938.

Keila has a station on the Elektriraudtee rail line.

After the railway to Keila was built, this place became known — as a pun — as "Kegelbahn".
