Doornkop (literally "thorn hill") is a ridge and locality southwest of Johannesburg, close to Krugersdorp, in Gauteng Province, South Africa. It is the spot where Dr Leander Starr Jameson surrendered to Boer forces on January 2, 1896. The area is currently being submerged by the westward expansion of Soweto and the eastward growth of Krugersdorp's Kagiso township. Suburbs on the site include Tshepisong, Leratong Village, Bambayi and Thulani.
