Pooler is a city in Chatham County, Georgia, United States. The population was 6,239 at the 2000 census. In 2006, the US Census estimated Pooler's total population at 11,782.

Pooler is now a fast-growing city located northwest of Savannah, near Interstate 95. During the Civil War, Pooler was a railway stop called Pooler's Station—the last stop before Savannah on the Central of Georgia Railroad. In December 1864, it was a meeting place for Union officers led by William Tecumseh Sherman, who negotiated with Savannah authorities for the strategic port city's peaceful surrender.

Today, Pooler is the center for commercial development in west Chatham County. Godley Station, the center for business development, has been successful in attracting large companies such as JCB to the area. Low crime, good schools, reasonable property value, and a small town community have all been factors in its explosive growth.
