The stamps of Bechuanaland represent the postal history of a former British protectorate in southern Africa, now known as Botswana. Early issues include classic Victorian and Edwardian designs featuring British monarchs, coats of arms, and overprinted Cape of Good Hope stamps, reflecting Bechuanaland’s administrative ties within the British Empire.

Later issues introduced locally inscribed definitives and pictorial stamps depicting maps, rural settlements, and aspects of life in the protectorate. Bechuanaland stamps are especially valued by collectors of British colonial Africa, transitional territories, and pre-independence postal history. Their relatively short issuing period and clear historical context make them an appealing and manageable specialty within worldwide and Commonwealth collections.
