Kannemeyer's Concert Hall was a venue in Cape Town in the 1860s.

Constructed by a Mr Kannemeyer on his property Longmarket Street in 1864, it was used for musical and other performances.

For example, shortly after its construction, the Juvenile Christys, a company of young blackface performers, led by a Miss Kannemeyer, made their first appearance in a private performance there, before they made a public appearance in the Beurssaal.
