Kontaveit beat Swiss Viktorija Golubic 2-6 7-6 (7-2) 7-5.
In the other semi-final, Jelena Ostapenko will take on Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina.
Latvian Ostapenko recovered from a slow start to beat Russia’s Daria Kasatkina 1-6 7-5 6-2, while French Open quarter-finalist Rybakina defeated Anastasija Sevastova 2-6 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-5).
Meanwhile, in the doubles in Eastbourne, Britain’s Joe Salisbury and American partner Rajeev Ram – the third seeds – reached the semi-finals with a 6-2 6-3 win over Australians John Peers and John Patrick Smith.
But Britain’s Jonny O’Mara and partner Hugo Nys of Monaco were knocked out.
