Zeischa () is an Ortsteil of the spa town of Bad Liebenwerda in the district of Elbe-Elster in southern Brandenburg. The village is located about three kilometres from the town centre in the Lower Lusatian Heath Nature Park on the banks of the Black Elster River.
According to tradition, Harigsburg Castle, in the vicinity of Zeischa, which was first documented in 1391, was once a Slavic knight's stronghold that protected the crossing of the Black Elster River. Since immemorial, the inhabitants have lived from agriculture, cattle breeding and fishing. Towards the end of the 19th century, the first forest tree nurseries were established, and their fields can still be seen in the Elster valley. Around the same time, gravel extraction began north of the village, creating an 80-hectare dredging pond, part of which has been used as a recreational area since the 1960s.
