' Mekla piimamees' ('The Dairyman of Mekla') is a novel by Estonian author Eduard Vilde. It was first published in 1916. It was translated into English as 'Milkman of the Manor' by Melanie Rauk in 1976.

Most of the information given about Mekla manor, the location of "Mekla piimamehe", corresponds to the Karjakla manor of the Keila parish at the time, from which a large part of the prototypes of the characters in the novel come from. Vilde's parents worked in this manner, and Vilde himself visited them several times, staying there longer in 1882-1883, 1886-1887 and 1892-1893. During those times, Vilde had gotten to know the life and situation there in detail.
