Robertsham is a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is situated in the city's southern suburbs just south of the CBD. It is located in Region F.

The suburb is situated on an old Witwatersrand farm of Ormonde. It was purchased by Kalven Estates in 1948 and proclaimed on 14 April 1948 and would be named after the company's chairman Robert Shapiro. The word -ham, in the United Kingdom and Ireland is a suffix used in place names meaning farm or homestead.
