Kleinzee or Kleinsee is a small Village on the west coast of the Northern Cape province in South Africa,

A village just south of Grootmis, at the mouth of the Buffels River, 72 km south-east of Port Nolloth and 105 km west of Springbok. Known for its diamond-mining operations. Founded after 1927. The name is Dutch and means 'small sea', referring to a lagoon at the mouth of the Buffels River.

The Buffels River "flows" through Kleinsee, but most of the time it is just a dry river bed and this river only flows approximately every ten years.

The Primary School does not exist anymore, is now a Center for learning and Development

Its population size generally consisted of around 2,000 residents, but was considerably reduced by the down-scaling of mining activities in 2009.
