Dirhami (Swedish: Derhamn) is a village in Lääne-Nigula Parish, Lääne County, in western Estonia.[1] Before the administrative reform in 2017, the village was in Noarootsi Parish. Until World War II, it was mainly inhabited by Estonian Swedes.

Dirhami has a cargo and passenger port, a post office and the hydrology station of the Estonian Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology. There is also a bus stop located inside the village. Some remains of a stronghold built during Peter the Great's rule are still visible in the woods near the village.
