Coetzee () is an Afrikaans surname. It is the tenth most common family name in South Africa.
==Origin== Unlike many South African family names that are easily traced back to English, Dutch, or Huguenot French, the origin of the name Coetzee is unclear. It is known to date back to Dirk Coetzee, who came to Cape Colony from Kampen, Netherlands, in the 17th century.
