Template:Infobox South African town Koingnaas is a town in Namakwa District Municipality in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.

Established in 1970,[1] Koingnaas was once a flourishing diamond-mining town, but after De Beers departed the population has fallen rapidly from its peak of about 1,000 inhabitants.[2]
