Bronkhorstspruit is a small farming town east of Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa. It lies on the border between the Mpumalanga and Gauteng.
Bronkhorstspruit hosts the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere, which houses the South African headquarters of the Humanistic Buddhist order.
In 1858, a group of Voortrekkers settled in the Bronkhorstspruit creek, which was originally called Kalkoenkransrivier ('turkey ridge river'). In June 1897, the South African Republic gave its approval for the town, then already named Bronkhorstspruit by locals.
In 1880 it was the scene of the action at Bronkhorstspruit, an important event in the early days of the First Boer War.
