The Supreme Soviet of the Estonian SSR (Estonian: Eesti NSV Ülemnõukogu) was the highest organ of state authority of the Estonian SSR. Before 1988, the Supreme Soviet had no meaningful political role. After its first democratic elections on 18 March 1990, the institution was renamed the Supreme Council of the Republic of Estonia on 8 May 1990.
