St. Michael's Catholic Cemetery, Catholic cemetery in Happy Valley, Hong Kong.

St. Michael's Catholic Cemetery is a burial ground for the Latin Rite community located in Happy Valley, featuring numerous graves with stone monuments and religious sculptures throughout its maintained grounds. The site encompasses several acres with pathways connecting different sections and memorial areas.

The site was leased by the Hong Kong government to the Catholic Church in 1842 at one Hong Kong dollar per year for 999 years, initially as a cemetery on St. Francis Street in Wan Chai. In 1848 it moved to its present slope between Wong Nai Chung Road and Stubbs Road, after the government decided to develop Wan Chai and the Colonial Secretary A. T. Gordon judged the Wong Nai Chung marshland unsuitable for housing. The St. Michael's gatehouse dates from 1848 and was relocated to the central position in 1977; the chapel, first built in 1868 and rebuilt in 1916, was listed with the gatehouse as a Grade II historic building in 2009.

The name Michael means "who is like God"; the archangel leads the fight against evil, a fitting patron for a cemetery. At the gate, a vertical couplet reads "Today my body returns to the earth; one day yours will be the same." Scholars trace it to a Latin verse by Charlemagne's teacher, warning the living to value life.

The cemetery opens daily from 8 am to 7 pm in summer and 8 am to 6 pm in winter; it is closed at other times. A guard and an office clerk are on duty during opening hours. The site lies on a slope between Wong Nai Chung Road and Stubbs Road, with the main gate now at the central position after the 1977 road works. The 8-foot perimeter wall is low enough that intruders have entered after closing, so plan visits within opening hours.

The cemetery's gate bears a seven-character vertical couplet: "今夕吾軀歸故土，他朝君体也相同". Scholars note the two lines fail as a proper couplet because the parts of speech do not match. One account attributes it to a priest in the late 1910s; historian Fr. Ha Ki-lung instead traces it to a Latin verse by Charlemagne's teacher.
