Ohrid (Macedonian: Охрид) is a city on the eastern shore of Lake Ohrid in the Republic of Macedonia. It has about 55,700 inhabitants. It is the seat of Ohrid municipality. The city is rich in picturesque houses and monuments, and tourism is predominant. It is located southwest of Skopje, and west-northwest of Resen and Bitola. There are several explanations for the origin of the name Ohrid. According to one of them, the name Ohrid is entirely Slavic and it is derived from the expression "na hrid" which means "on a hill". Indeed the town of Ohrid is built on a hill.

In 1980, Ohrid and Lake Ohrid were accepted as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
