Ncwadi is a town in Harry Gwala District Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.

Settlement on the Ncwadi River, a tributary of the Mkomazi, about 30 km south-west of Pietermaritzburg. Derived from Zulu, the name apparently means ‘conspicuous’, from a prominent hill.{{cite web|title=Dictionary of Southern African Place Names (Public Domain)|url=https://archive.org/details/DictionaryOfSouthernAfricanPlaceNames|publisher=Human Science Research Council|page=331}}
