Labuan War Cemetery, Military cemetery in Labuan, Malaysia.

Labuan War Cemetery is a Commonwealth World War II cemetery in Labuan, Malaysia, laid out by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Its rows of uniform headstones mark graves of Indian and Australian troops killed in the 1941–42 fighting in Borneo and the 1945 Borneo campaign, alongside prisoners of war who died on the Sandakan Death Marches and at Batu Lintang camp near Kuching.

The cemetery was laid out by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission after World War II to gather Commonwealth dead from Borneo. Those buried include Indian and Australian troops killed in the Japanese invasion of 1941–1942 and the 1945 Borneo campaign, prisoners who died on the Sandakan Death Marches, and Allied POWs, mostly British and Australian, who perished at Batu Lintang camp near Kuching and were reburied here.

The headstones display inscriptions in multiple languages, reflecting the diverse Commonwealth nations whose soldiers rest here. Walking through the grounds, visitors notice the different names and symbols that show how many countries lost soldiers in this place.

The cemetery sits less than one kilometer from Labuan Airport and remains open throughout the year for visitors. The accessible grounds allow you to view the graves at a leisurely pace.

Among the graves are two Victoria Cross recipients: Jack Mackey (1922–1945) and Tom Derrick (1914–1945). Many hundreds of Allied POWs, mostly British and Australian, who died at Batu Lintang camp near Kuching were reburied here after the war.
