Baton Rouge National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Baton Rouge, United States.

Baton Rouge National Cemetery covers 7.7 acres in East Baton Rouge Parish and held over 5,000 interments as of 2020. Its grounds are enclosed by a brick wall stuccoed in 1936, and the North 19th Street entrance has a double iron gate built in 1933. A Massachusetts Monument erected in 1909 stands on the site.

The cemetery was established in 1867 and contains graves of soldiers from the Civil War period, with initial burials dating back to 1830. This long history makes it an important repository of military service spanning multiple generations.

The Massachusetts Monument, erected in 1909 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and built by J. N. White and Sons, commemorates officers of the 31st and 41st Infantry and the Massachusetts men who died in the Department of the Gulf during the Civil War. It is the cemetery's principal state memorial.

The cemetery is accessible daily from sunrise to sunset for visitors. The administrative office is available during weekday business hours if you need help locating specific graves or gathering information.

Michael and Bernard Jodd were hired in 1878 to replace the cemetery's picket fence with a brick wall. Both caught yellow fever and died that September before finishing; they were buried in the cemetery and local laborers completed the wall, which was stuccoed in 1936.
