Fransfontein is a small settlement in the Kunene Region, Namibia. It is the hometown of former Deputy Prime Minister of Namibia - Libertina Amathila.

## History

The settlement was founded in 1891 as a Rhenish Missionary Society mission station. After the proclamations of land confiscation following the end of the Herero Wars in 1904, land in the area was set aside for the ǁKhauǀgoan (Swartbooi Nama).
