Ochamchire or Ochamchira (, ; , Ochamchyra; , Ochamchira) is a seaside city on the Black Sea coast of Abkhazia, Georgia, and a center of an eponymous district.

According to the 1989 Soviet population census, Ochamchire had 20,078 residents. After the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict of 1992–93, Ochamchire experienced a significant population decline due to ethnic cleansing of Georgians. Most of the displaced persons affected by the conflict have yet to return to the city. Ochamchire lies along the left bank of the Ghalidzga River where it enters the sea. The city is located southeast of the Abkhazian capital of Sokhumi.
