Cleveland Pioneer Cemetery, Heritage cemetery in Cleveland, Queensland.

Cleveland Pioneer Cemetery, also known as Cleveland No.1 Cemetery, occupies Scott Street Park at Lisa Street in Cleveland, City of Redland. The grassed site holds large eucalypts, a north–south access track from Queen Street, a low mound about 40–50 cm high, and a playground; no headstones or grave plots remain visible, and a memorial plaque stands near Lisa Street.

Surveyed by H. Rawnsley in December 1858, the cemetery was used until 1873, when swampy soil forced its replacement by a new site across Wellington Street. Eleven burials are identified, including journalist Arthur Sidney Lyon, who died on 22 October 1861 and founded the Moreton Bay Courier, later The Courier-Mail.

The cemetery reflects the religious diversity of early settlers, with separate sections maintained for Church of England, Presbyterian, Wesleyan, Roman Catholic, and Jewish communities. This arrangement shows how different groups coexisted while preserving their own practices.

The cemetery lies within Scott Street Park, entered from Lisa Street or by a vehicle track from Queen Street. No headstones or grave plots are visible; a memorial plaque stands beside Lisa Street. A playground, bench and water tap occupy the southeast quadrant, and a low mound runs along the track.

Teacher Merv Beitz of Cleveland State School erected the memorial as a practical history exercise for his class, with the plaque supplied by Redland Shire Council. No headstones or grave markers stood on the site at that time, and the memorial names ten of the interred.
