Ablabera hottentota is a species of beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in South Africa (Western Cape).
Adults reach a length of about 6 mm. The shape and sculpture is similar to those of Ablabera splendida, but slightly more elongated, entirely black and fringed laterally with somewhat remote greyish setae. In some specimens, there is a faint fulvous patch in the posterior part of the elytra, and a similar spot on the pygidium.
