Lichtenburg Commando was a light infantry regiment of the South African Army. It formed part of the South African Army Infantry Formation as well as the South African Territorial Reserve.

This Commando was involved in numerous engagements during the Anglo Boer War such as:

During the guerilla phase of this war:

By 1902 all Commando remnants were under British military control and disarmed.

By 1912, however previous Commando members could join shooting associations.

By 1940, such commandos were under control of the National Reserve of Volunteers.

These commandos were formally reactivated by 1948.

During this era, this commando was mainly used for area force protection, search and cordons as well as stock theft control assistance to the rural police.
