Cgʼose Ntcoxʼo (also spelled Xhose Noxo and known as Cgoise; born around 1950 in the Ghanzi District, died 2013) was a painter and lithographer from Botswana, of San origin. Unable to read or write, she came to wider attention in the early 1990s through the Kuru Art Project, which helped show her work in exhibitions. Her paintings depict everyday tasks among the women of her community, such as gathering veld food and making crafts, with stocky figures in profile who celebrate the desert's abundance after rain.
Her work reached a large audience when British Airways commissioned her to design the tail of its aircraft. She signed the agreement without being able to read it, and in doing so she transferred the rights to her work. When she learned how widely the design had been used, she asked for additional payment.
In 1996 she took part in Qauqaua, an artists' book published in Johannesburg. In 1999 she contributed two lithographs to a cultural exchange organised by the Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque, on the trickster figures of folklore. That same year she lost her only daughter and greatly reduced her artistic output.
Her work also appeared on a Botswanan postage stamp in 2004. In her last years she was cared for by another artist, and she died in 2013.
