Bezdružice (German: Weseritz) is a town and municipality in Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It lies some 30 km (19 mi) to the north-west from the regional capital of Plzeň.

Cinnabar was mined near Bezdružice (near the road from Bezdružice to Potín, north from Nová Ves) from the 16th century. The first literature reports are from the 18th century. The mining was stopped in 1786 due to poor results. There are still extensive signs of old mining activities in the forest (several hundreds of dumps and pits up to several square meters).
