Beaufort National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Beaufort, United States.

Beaufort National Cemetery is a United States national cemetery in Beaufort, South Carolina, covering 44.1 acres (17.8 ha) and containing over 28,725 interments as of 2024. Its sections are arranged in a half-circle pattern, with roads radiating outward like spokes on a wheel.

The cemetery was established in 1863 during the Civil War to receive Union soldiers from nearby hospitals and battlefields. Over the following decades, it expanded to include service members from every major American conflict that followed.

Among the graves are 102 Confederate soldiers and 2,800 prisoners of war from the camp at Millen, buried alongside 9,000 Union dead. The cemetery also holds the remains of 27 Union POWs reinterred from Blackshear Prison after the war. A visitor can look for the grave of Chuck Taliano, the drill instructor on the 1970s and 1980s "We don't promise you a rose garden" recruitment poster.

The grounds are open to visitors daily from dawn until dusk, allowing people to explore at their own pace. If you need help locating a specific grave or want more information, staff members are available during regular business hours.

In 1989, nineteen soldiers from the Massachusetts 55th Infantry were discovered on Folly Island and brought to this cemetery for reburial with full military honors. This discovery allowed service members who had been lost for over a century to finally receive proper recognition.
