Kuboes is a town in Richtersveld Local Municipality in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.

Kuboes was one of the first permanent settlements on the Richtersveld. The town grew around a Rhenish mission set up by revered Johan Hein, who began to preach to the nomadic population of the surrounding areas in 1844. A church was built in 1893, and eventually the itinerant population decided to set up in Kuboes itself.[2]

Kuboes is a centre of Nama culture, and the local school is claimed to be the only school in the world that teaches the Nama language.[2]
