Tärkma is a village in Hiiumaa Parish, Hiiu County in northwestern Estonia.
Hiiumaa Parish is a rural municipality of Estonia on the island of Hiiumaa. Hiiumaa Parish was established by merging Emmaste Parish, Hiiu Parish, Käina Parish and Pühalepa Parish after the municipal elections held on 15 October 2017.
