Püssi ( ; ; ) is a town in Lüganuse Parish, Ida-Viru County, Estonia, with a population of 917 . It is located near the road between Tallinn and St. Petersburg.
==History== Following the end of the Soviet Union, Püssi saw a sharp economic downturn and a population exodus. In 1989, the population of Püssi stood at 2,400 people, and 20 years later, in 2009, was only 1,809. The population has continued to decrease and by 2012 stood at 1,783 people. In October 2013, Püssi along with Maidla Parish were merged into Lüganuse Parish, and therefore ceased to exist as separate municipalities.
