Blouberg Municipality (Northern Sotho: Mmasepala wa Blouberg) is a local municipality within the Capricorn District Municipality, in the Limpopo province of South Africa, bordering Botswana. It takes its name from the Blouberg (literally meaning "blue mountain" in Afrikaans), a mountain range located to the west of the western end of the Soutpansberg mountain range, north west of the town of Vivo.

The vegetation ranges from sub-tropical savanna at the base, to alpine near the summit.
