Gravesend Cemetery, Cemetery and public park in Brooklyn, United States.
Gravesend Cemetery contains a collection of gravestones and monuments dating back to the 17th century within a landscaped park setting.
Established in 1658 following Thomas Spicer's will, this cemetery became part of the second planned English colonial settlement in North America.
The cemetery incorporates graves from different religious and ethnic communities, including the Van Sicklen Family Cemetery and early Dutch settlers.

Lady Deborah Moody, who received the first land patent granted to a woman in the New World, integrated this cemetery into her quadrant-based village design.
