Kedrostis capensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Cucurbitaceae, indigenous to rocky, karoo slopes in South Africa and Namibia.

Its distribution is across the Karoo region and Swartberg mountains, as far west as Lambert's Bay, and as far north as southern Namibia.

All parts of the plant are often covered in fine, short hairs.

In its natural habitat, its greenish flowers usually appear from October to April, often before the leaves appear.

The female flowers are solitary, while the male ones are in groups (fascicled).
