Jwaneng-Mabutsane is a constituency in the Southern District of Botswana represented in the National Assembly of Botswana by Omphemetse Kwapa of the UDC since 2024.
The seat's predecessor, Ngwaketse West was a marginal seat for the Botswana National Front from the 2004 election up to its dissolution at the 2012 delimitation exercise, the seat continued this trend by voting for the Umbrella for Democratic Change in the 2014 election.

The constituency is predominantly rural with the mining town of Jwaneng being the largest population centre, it encompasses the following localities:[1]
