The siege of Kimberley took place during the Second Boer War at Kimberley, Cape Colony (present-day South Africa), when Boer forces from the Orange Free State and the Transvaal besieged the diamond mining town. The Boers moved quickly to try to capture the area when war broke out between the British and the two Boer republics in October 1899. The town was ill-prepared, but the defenders organised an energetic and effective improvised defence that was able to prevent it from being taken.
Die Beleg van Kimberley het vanaf 14 Oktober 1899 tot 15 Februarie 1900 geduur tydens die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog.
Le siège de Kimberley se tint au cours de la deuxième Guerre des Boers à Kimberley en Afrique du Sud.
