Dockweiler State Beach, known locally as Dockweiler, is a beach in Los Angeles, California, with 3.75 miles (6.04 km) of shoreline, and a hang gliding practice and training area. Although a unit of the California state park system, it is managed by the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors.

Originally part of Venice-Hyperion Beach State Park, it was renamed in honor of prominent early Angeleno Isidore B. Dockweiler in 1955.
