Katutura is a township of Windhoek, Khomas Region in Namibia. Translation: Katutura is Otjiherero for "The place where we do not want to live". Katutura was created in 1961 as an aftermath of the forced removal of Windhoek's black population from the Old Location, which later was developed into the suburb of Hochland Park. Sam Nujoma Stadium, built in 2005, is located within Katutura. Katutura Community Radio, a community-based radio station, also operates from the township as well Katutura State Hospital, one of two State Hospitals in the Windhoek area.

During the 1950s, the Windhoek municipality and the South African colonial administration decided to forcefully move the residents of the Old Location 8 kilometres to the north of the city, prompting the evicted people to give the new location the name Katutura, which means "The place where we do not want to live" in Herero.

For a number of reasons most residents did not want to move: they had owned land erven in Old Location while in Katutura all land belonged to Windhoek Municipality. The newly allocated erven were also a lot smaller than those in Old Location, effectively forbidding the creation of gardens. Also economically black residents were worse off after the move because they now had to pay rent to the municipality, and they needed a bus to reach their work places in town. In contrary Old Location was in walking distance to Windhoek central.

Following protests and an effective boycott of municipal services by Main Location residents, the police opened fire on the protesters on 10 December 1959, killing 11 and wounding 44 others. This event is known as the Old Location uprising, it is the reason for the declaration of December 10, Human Rights Day, as a Namibian national holiday.
