Ojeda Beach (Template:Lang-bg, ‘Bryag Ojeda’ \'bryag o-'he-da\) is the ice-free beach extending 730 m on the southeast coast of South Bay, Hurd Peninsula on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is bounded by Hespérides Point to the north, Hesperides Hill and Atlantic Club Ridge to the east, and Boeritsa Point to the south. The beach was possibly visited by early 19th century sealers frequenting the nearby Johnsons Dock.

The feature is named after Miguel Ángel Ojeda Cárdenes, manager of the Spanish Antarctic logistics and base commander at Juan Carlos I base during several seasons, for his support for the Bulgarian Antarctic programme.
