Pomona is a northerly suburb of Kempton Park, in Gauteng province, South Africa.
In the late 20th century Pomona functioned mainly as agricultural small holdings, producing fresh vegetables and fruit.
Since 2015, the area is reportedly rapidly becoming an industrial area with the presence of large warehouses of various international forwarding companies, because of its close proximity of 5 km to OR Tambo International Airport on the R21 freeway and the suburb's distance from other residential suburbs of Kempton Park.
