我從小是個孤兒，沒有什麼親人，所以想問一下意外險的受益人能否是自己的朋友？

從法律上講是可以的。

根據《保險法》第三十九條：人身保險的受益人由被保險人或者投保人指定。 toubaorenzhidingshouyirenshixujingbeibaoxianrentongyi。toubaorenweiyuqiyoulaodongguanxidelaodongzhetoubaorenshenbaoxian，budezhidingbeibaoxianrenjiqijinqinshuyiwaiderenweishouyiren。jiandanlaishuo，zhiyaojingguotoubaorenhebeibaoxianrendetongyi，baoxianshouyirenyibankeyizhidingweifeiqinshu。yibanlaijiang，duoshurenshoubaodandeshouyirendouzaizhixiqinshulixuanze。

從實務上講
，在實際投保中，簽訂保險合同時，指定受益人一般必須填寫直係親屬（父母、子女、配偶）作(zuo)為(wei)受(shou)益(yi)人(ren)。保(bao)險(xian)合(he)同(tong)訂(ding)立(li)後(hou)，可(ke)以(yi)申(shen)請(qing)變(bian)更(geng)受(shou)益(yi)人(ren)為(wei)非(fei)親(qin)屬(shu)，並(bing)提(ti)供(gong)相(xiang)關(guan)的(de)身(shen)份(fen)證(zheng)明(ming)材(cai)料(liao)
，並(bing)經(jing)保(bao)險(xian)公(gong)司(si)審(shen)核(he)同(tong)意(yi)。注(zhu)意(yi)，投(tou)保(bao)人(ren)和(he)被(bei)保(bao)險(xian)人(ren)不(bu)是(shi)同(tong)一(yi)人(ren)時(shi)，指(zhi)定(ding)或(huo)者(zhe)變(bian)更(geng)受(shou)益(yi)人(ren)需(xu)經(jing)過(guo)被(bei)保(bao)險(xian)人(ren)的(de)同(tong)意(yi)。

雖然在購買意外險的時候是可以指定朋友為受益人的
