**Willowmore** is a town in [Sarah Baartman District Municipality](/source/Sarah_Baartman_District_Municipality) in the [Eastern Cape](/source/Eastern_Cape) province of South Africa.

Willowmore is situated 140 km north-east of the town of [Knysna](/source/Knysna) and 117 km south-west of [Aberdeen](/source/Aberdeen%2C_Eastern_Cape). It was laid out in 1862 on the farm The Willows. It is uncertain whether the name is derived from this farm name and that of its owner, William Moore, or from the maiden name of Petronella Catharina Lehmkuhl and a willow-tree near her house.[2]
