Gasteria brachyphylla, the Klein Karoo gasteria, is succulent plant native to the Western Cape, South Africa.

This species of Gasteria has its strap-shaped leaves in two opposite rows (distichous).

However G. brachyphylla can be distinguished by its very shiny, smooth leaves (its two relatives' leaves are rough with tiny tubercles).

It occurs under shrubs in the Succulent Karoo vegetation of the Little Karoo in the Western Cape, South Africa.

It is found as far west as Barrydale, and as far east as Uniondale.
