Mohlakeng is a township west of Johannesburg in Gauteng, South Africa.

The new location of Mohlakeng was established after African residents of the then old Randfontein township of Madubulaville was abolished by the apartheid regime to make way for the industrial site closer to Randfontein town.

The former Executive Mayor of The West Rand District Municipality hails from Mohlakeng.

Mohlakeng is surrounded by Soweto in the east, Randfontein in the north and Westonaria in the south.

Other well-known people from Mohlakeng include: Peter Mathebula, the first African World WBA Light-Weight Boxing Champion, Oupa Manyisa, Donald Khuse, the late footballer Patrick Ntsoelengoe and Roger Majafa and Thembi Kgatlana and Linda Motlhalo and Makhehlene Makhaula.
