Klaarstroom is a town in Prince Albert Local Municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa.

Village at the northern end of Meiringspoort, about 60 km east of Prince Albert and 95 km north-west of Uniondale. Originally named Pietersburg, its present name, Afrikaans for 'clear stream', probably refers to waters flowing from the Swartberg into the lowlands.[2]
