Taebla (German: Taibel ) is a former rural community in the Estonian district of Lääne with an area of 141 km². It had 2739 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2006).
Taebla was 14 km from Haapsalu and 86 km from Tallinn .
The untouched landscapes with forests, moors and springs were interesting for nature tourists. The former house of the national romantic painter Ants Laikmaa (1866–1942), which served as a museum about his life and work, was particularly worth seeing in Kadarpiku .
