Laoküla is a village in Keila Parish, Harju County in northern Estonia. It is bordered to the north by the city of Paldiski.

The borders of the village extend beyond current dwellings, and so its area is home to several abandoned buildings and their ruins; some from the Soviet era, and some from before.

In late 2015, the ruins of one building near the shore (59°19′38″N 24°06′14″E / 59.327337°N 24.103941°E / 59.327337; 24.103941 (Laoküla)) were featured in the last scene of a music video to "Faded", a song by the Norwegian DJ Alan Walker.

Laoküla has a station on the Elron western route.
