The Steenbras River is a small river in the Western Cape province of South Africa between the Hottentots Holland and Kogelberg mountins, draining into False Bay south of Gordon's Bay. It has been dammed in two places and provides water to the city of Cape Town. The upper dam also serves as a reservoir for the Steenbras pumped-storage hydroelectricity scheme which supplements Cape Town's electricity supply during periods of peak demand.
