Valgejõe is a village in Kuusalu Parish, Harju County, in northern Estonia. It is located on the crossing of the Tallinn–Narva road (part of the E20) and the Valgejõgi River.
Valgejõe (white river) dates from the 13th century, located initially in today's Vanaküla (old village). In the early 17th century the centre of the village shifted some kilometers south to the area of Tallinn-Narva road river crossing and the tavern. In north from Vanaküla split Parksi and Nõmmeveski. Situated on the historic division line of Harju and Viru counties the local administrative borders have constantly changed here. Since the 1939 reform however, when the county border skipped a few kilometers eastward, Valgejõe, Vanaküla and Parksi lands were moved between multiple different administrative units, but always together. That has laid basis for emergence of historic triple village.
