Graskop est une localité de la province du Mpumalanga en Afrique du Sud, située à environ 1 400 mètres d'altitude. Elle fut établie dans les années 1880 comme camp pour chercheurs d'or, mais est désormais essentiellement active pour l'exploitation forestière et l'agriculture. Elle est actuellement une station touristique d'altitude renommée, accueillant un public relativement fortuné. Le nom de la ville en Afrikaans signifie « colline herbeuse ». God’s Window, (« La fenêtre de Dieu ») est une vue depuis l'escarpement du Drakensberg vers le Lowveld, située à proximité de la ville.
