Obořiště is a municipality and village in Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 700 inhabitants.

The village of Lhotka is an administrative part of Obořiště.

Obořiště is located about 11 kilometres (7 mi) northeast of Příbram and 36 km (22 mi) southwest of Prague. Most of the territory lies in the Benešov Uplands, only a small part in the south lies in the Brdy Highlands and includes the highest point of Obořiště, the hill Na Vrších at 442 m (1,450 ft) above sea level. There are several fishponds in the municipal territory, including Příkop in the centre of the village.

The first written mention of Obořiště is from 1333. From 1675 to 1680, the village was owned by Prague bishop Tomáš Pešina of Čechorod, who bequeathed it to the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit. The order founded here a monastery, but it was abolished in 1786 and Obořiště was acquired by the royal chamber. The last owners before the establishment of the independent municipality in 1850 were the family of Colloredo-Mansfeld.
