Ogíjares is a municipality located in the central-southern part of the province of Granada, Spain.

Ogíjares is located in the center of a fertile plain, watered by irrigation from the Monachil and Dílar rivers.

Ogíjares had its origins as two small Arab farming villages, although utensils and interments from the Visigoths and as far back as the Neolithic have been found locally.

The name comes from the Latin phrase "Hortum Sacrum", which translated in Arabic became Ortexica, and then Oxijar.
