Väike-Rootsi

Väike-Rootsi is a village in Saaremaa Parish, Saare County in western Estonia.

Väike-Rootsi was attested in historical sources as ihm Swedesszen dorppe in 1515. The name of the village literally means 'little Swedish (village)', semantically contrasting with neighboring Suure-Rootsi, literally 'big Swedish (village)'. Both villages are named after their historical Swedish population.

From 1977 to 1997, together with neighboring Suure-Rootsi and Ennu, Väike-Rootsi was included in the village of Vätta. After 1997, the name Vätta continued to apply to the area and to the Vätta Peninsula [et].

Before the local government administrative reform in 2017, the village was in Pihtla Parish.
