Karoo Hoogland Municipality ({{langx|af|Karoo Hoogland Munisipaliteit}}) is a local municipality within the Namakwa District Municipality, in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. The municipality incorporates the towns of Williston, Fraserburg and Sutherland. Although the towns are separated by more than 100 km by road, they share many administrative tasks.

Hoogland is an Afrikaans word meaning "highland" and Karoo is a Khoekhoe word meaning "hard" or "dry". The name reflects the area which has dry, arid and desert-like conditions.[http://www.salanguages.com/munnames.htm South African Languages - Place names]

In 2011, Karoo Hoogland elected the first mayor from the Congress of the People (COPE) party, Jan Julies, and a COPE-DA coalition took control of the council after the election of 18 May 2011.{{cite news |title=First COPE mayor sworn in |agency=Sapa |newspaper=IOL |date=31 May 2011 |url=http://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/first-cope-mayor-sworn-in-1.1076497 |access-date=11 June 2011}} This lasted until the 2016 elections.
