Bezgovica (in Slovenian pronounced as /bəzɡɔˈʋiːtsa/; German: Wesgowitz[2]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Osilnica in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]

There is a small chapel-shrine at the crossroads south of the settlement dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It dates to the early 20th century.[5]
