Skoenmakerskop is a small village in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. It is located southwest of the promontory on which Port Elizabeth stands, 8 km west of Chelsea Point. Skoenmakerskop is Afrikaans for 'shoemaker's hill'. The village, the hill, and the Skoenmakersrivier nearby are all said to have been named after Volcker Schoemaker, a soldier who deserted and settled in the Eastern Province.{{#tag:ref |{{cite book|last=Raper|first=Peter E.|title=Dictionary of Southern African Place Names|url=https://archive.org/stream/DictionaryOfSouthernAfricanPlaceNames/SaPlaceNames#page/n407/mode/2up|publisher=Internet Archive|accessdate=28 August 2013|page=407|year=1987}} |name=dosapn}}
