C39 is a secondary road in central Namibia. It is 494 kilometres (307 mi) long and connects Torra Bay on the Atlantic Ocean via Khorixas and Outjo to Otavi in central Namibia.[1]

The C39 starts at the terminus of the C34 at Torra Bay in the Skeleton Coast National Park. It leads in eastern direction to Khorixas where it crosses the C35. It then leads further eastwards to Outjo where it crosses the C38, and to Otavi, where it connects to the national roads B1 and B6.[1]
