The Karnmelkspruit is a tributary of the Kraai River in the Senqu area in the northeastern part of the Eastern Cape. It rises to the south of Wittenberg near Lesotho and flows as a stream southwestward through valleys and gorges east of the town of Lady Grey and further south to where it joins the Kraai River at 30°54′20″S 27°07′58″E / 30.90556°S 27.13278°E / -30.90556; 27.13278.

The river is crossed by a historical railway line (at 30°48′01″S 27°14′48″E / 30.80028°S 27.24667°E / -30.80028; 27.24667), and the Jan Kemp Vorster Bridge (1973) carries car traffic over the river in the direction of Barkly East, about 50 km away.
