Hotedršica (pronounced [xɔˈteːdəɾʃitsa]) is a village west of Logatec in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.

Hotedršica was first attested in written sources in 1421 as Kathedresicz (and in 1496 as Kathedersicz). The name is a syncopated form of *Hotedražica, derived from the personal name *Xotědragъ (from *xotěti 'to desire' + *dorgъ 'good').

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Ljubljana Archdiocese.
