Patayamatebele is a village in the North East District of Botswana near to the Dikgatlhong Dam.

Patayamatebele is a small village of about 500 people, 81 kilometres (50 mi) southeast of Francistown.

The people belong to various groups such as the Bangwato, Basarwa, Bakhurutshe, Bakalaka and Babirwa.
