Toowong Cemetery, Heritage-listed cemetery on Mount Coot-tha slopes in Brisbane, Australia.

Toowong Cemetery is a 44-hectare burial ground located where Frederick Street meets Mount Coot-tha Road in Brisbane's western suburbs. The site contains multiple sections for different types of burials and sits across rolling terrain on the Mount Coot-tha hillside.

The cemetery was established in 1866 and officially opened in 1875 to serve Brisbane's expanding population. Among those buried here is Samuel Wensley Blackall, the second governor of Queensland.

The cemetery is still in use and doubles as a park: joggers and dog walkers share its winding paths beneath over-hanging fig trees. The volunteer Friends of Toowong Cemetery research and tell the stories of those buried here, running guided tours and a series of self-guided walks through the grounds.

The cemetery lies at the corner of Frederick Street and Mount Coot-tha Road, about 4.5 km west of Brisbane's centre. The Friends of Toowong Cemetery run guided tours and a series of self-guided walks through the grounds. The open gates in the photograph lead in past a low sign board at the road edge.

The cemetery holds 387 Commonwealth war graves from soldiers who died in both World Wars. These burials stand as a reminder of those who fought and fell far from home.
