Chartreuse Cemetery, Historical cemetery in Bordeaux, France.

The Chartreuse Cemetery spans 25.7 hectares and contains numerous 19th-century funerary monuments, pyramids, and large burial vaults across its grounds.

Established in 1791 on former Carthusian monastery gardens, the cemetery received official historic monument status recognition from the French government in 1921.

The cemetery houses the remains of notable figures including Marshal Alphonse d'Ornano, painter Pierre Lacour, and early feminist writer Flora Tristan.

The cemetery grounds are accessible via Bordeaux's tram line A, with nearby stations at Gaviniès, Hôtel de Police, and Saint-Bruno-Hôtel de Région.

A memorial dedicated to Spanish painter Francisco Goya stands within the cemetery, although his actual remains rest in Madrid, Spain.
