thumb|300px|Allocation of land to Bantustans according to the Odendaal Plan. Tswanaland is the rectangle in eastern central South West Africa.
Tswanaland was a Bantustan and then later a non-geographic ethnic-based second-tier authority, the Representative Authority of the Tswanas, in South West Africa (present-day Namibia), in the far central eastern area of the territory around the village of Aminuis. It was intended by the apartheid government to be a self-governing homeland for the Tswana people.
