Gibeon is a newly created constituency as well as an area known for meteorite falls.

Gibeon (Nama: Khaxa-tsûs) is a constituency in the Hardap Region of Namibia. The administrative centre of the constituency is the village of Gibeon.

In August 2013, Gibeon Constituency lost the western part of its territory, which became a constituency of its own, namely Daweb Constituency.
