Brussels Cemetery is a cemetery belonging to the City of Brussels in Brussels, Belgium. Located in the neighbouring municipality of Evere, rather than in the City of Brussels proper, it is adjacent to Schaerbeek Cemetery and Evere Cemetery, but should not be confused with either.
The grounds include many war memorials, including a large monument to the soldiers of the Battle of Waterloo by the sculptor Jacques de Lalaing.
