Zonnebloem (Dutch for sunflower)^[2] is a suburb in City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa, previously part of District Six.

It was a farming estate until the early 19th century, when it became a suburb of Cape Town as the population and city boundaries grew.^[3] Zonnebloem became a home to freed slaves, merchants, labourers and immigrants. During apartheid, the area of District Six was declared a white-only area and the previous residents were evicted.

The suburb hosts the Cape Town Campus of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
