Geysdorp is a town in Tswaing Local Municipality in the North West province of South Africa.

Town in the former Western Transvaal, some 24 km south-west of Delareyville. It was laid out in 1895 on the farm "Paardefontein". Probably named after Commandant Nicolaas Claudius Gey van Pittius (1837-1893), Administrator of the Boer republic of Goshen.[2]
