Pelgulinn (Estonian for 'refuge/hiding town') is a subdistrict (asum) of Põhja-Tallinn (North Tallinn) in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.

It is located about 2 km (1 mi) northwest of the city centre.

Pelgulinn borders Kalamaja to the east, Kelmiküla to the southeast, Lilleküla to the south, Merimetsa to the west, Pelguranna to the northwest, and Karjamaa to the north.

[1] In the 18th century, the area was largely covered by meadows and forests.

Pelgulinn started as a slum inhabited by the workers of Tallinn–Saint Petersburg railway at the end of the 19th century.
