Lydenburg 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 several engagement during the Anglo Boer such as:

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

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

During the 1914 Maritz Rebellion, Christiaan De Wet remustered this Commando against the government of the day.

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

These commandos were formally reactivated by 1948.

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