Blejska Dobrava is a settlement in the the Jesenice municipality in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is located on the river terraces between the right bank of the Sava Dolinka and the Radovna as it exits the Vintgar gorge, at the foothills of Mežakla.

The local church is dedicated to St Stephen and was originally a gothic structure but was rebuilt in 1743 in a Baroque style. There is a walled enclosure at the church with the abandoned graveyard with some of the older graves still marked, including the grave of the poet France Prešeren's sisters, Katra and Jera, built into the church facade.
