Cimetière des Juifs portugais de Paris, Jewish cemetery in La Villette district, 19th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The cemetery spans 0.04 hectares and contains 28 graves within a private courtyard at 44 Avenue de Flandre in Paris.

Jacob Rodrigues Pereire established this burial ground in 1780 for the Portuguese Jewish community, which operated until its closure in 1810.

The tombstones display dates using the French Republican calendar instead of the traditional Hebrew calendar, reflecting the period's social changes.

Access to the cemetery requires specific authorization from the Consistoire israélite de Paris due to its location within a residential complex.

The site holds the remains of Salomon Perpignan, who founded the Royal Free School of Drawing in Paris during 1767.
