Oru is a settlement in Ida-Viru county, Estonia, surrounded by the Toila Parish but administered as an exclave district of the town of Kohtla-Järve which is located about 20 km (12 mi) to the west of Oru.

The settlement was founded in connection with the construction of a plant producing peat briquettes in 1958.

Oru has a station on Edelaraudtee's eastern route.

Oru should not be confused with the Toila-Oru Park located in nearby Toila, which was also the location of Oru Palace.
