Kullamaa (German: Goldenbeck) is a village in Lääne-Nigula Parish, Lääne County, in western Estonia.

The first Estonian professional composer Rudolf Tobias (1873–1918) lived in Kullamäe between 1885 and 1889, where his father served as the parish clerk. Later, composer Artur Uritamm served as the church organist.

Pastor and translator Heinrich Göseken (1612–1681) worked as a pastor in Kullamaa church. He is credited with writing a grammar of Estonian language as well as a Latin-Estonian-German dictionary.
