Suur Strait (Estonian: Suur väin) is the strait in Estonia, lying between Muhu and Continental Estonia. The strait (being itself part of Väinameri) connects Väinameri and Gulf of Riga.

Several islets are located in the strait: e.g. Papirahu, Kesselaid, Kõbajad, Viirelaid.

The strait maximum depth of 24 m is the deepest point in Väinameri.

Kuivastu Harbour is located at the strait. A ferry crosses the strait from Virtsu to Kuivastu.
