Tebogo Potsane (born 3 September 1993) is a South African soccer player who plays as a winger for Kaizer Chiefs in the Premier Soccer League.

Potsane made his first-tier debut in the 2016-17 South African Premier Division. Playing for Free State Stars, but not as a regular, he moved on to Bloemfontein Celtic in 2018. When the team licence was taken over by Royal AM in 2021, Potsane started playing for that team.

In the summer of 2023, Potsane joined one of South Africa's biggest clubs, Kaizer Chiefs.[1] Potsane was signed for his experience, as well as to add "depth to the group of playing personnel".[2]

He gained headlines for arriving at his new training ground in a 300,000 rand car, and for Instagram pictures with a 1.1 million rand car.[3] In 2020, his club had to apologise for a social media video where he was jokingly "threatening to kill someone, while wearing military camouflage". The uniform was genuine and belonged to a friend.[4]
