St Patricks Cemetery, Parramatta, Catholic cemetery in North Parramatta, Australia.

The cemetery spans 2.35 hectares at the intersection of Church Street and Pennant Hills Road, containing over 2,400 documented memorials and gravestones.

Established in 1824 under Father John Joseph Therry's initiative, this burial ground marks the first formal Catholic cemetery in Australia's colonial period.

The Gothic revival mortuary chapel, constructed in 1844 and dedicated to St Francis of Assisi, represents early Catholic architectural heritage in New South Wales.

The cemetery grounds remain accessible for historical research and documentation, with volunteers contributing to photograph and catalog the existing memorials.

Among the 44 identified convict burials, the cemetery contains the remains of early Irish rebels who influenced the development of Catholic society in colonial Australia.
