This is a list of rivers in South Africa.

A map showing South Africa's cities, main towns, selected villages, rivers, and its highest peak.

It is quite common to find the Afrikaans word -rivier as part of the name. Another common suffix is "-kamma", from the Khoisan term for "river"[1] (often tautologically the English term "river" is added to the name). The Zulu word amanzi (water) also forms part of some river names.

The Afrikaans term spruit (compare spring) often labels small rivers.
