Portuguese Cemetery, Kanpur, National Heritage Cemetery in Kanpur, India.
The Portuguese Cemetery contains 1200 graves with ornate tombstones featuring inscriptions in Portuguese and English across its expansive grounds.
Established in 1781 following the death of Lieutenant Colonel John Stephen, this burial ground marks the presence of Portuguese traders in northern India.
The cemetery architecture combines Gothic elements with Indo-Saracenic styles, featuring black basalt carvings on tomb facades that incorporate Hindu design elements.

A central brick structure built in panchyatana style features a main dome surrounded by four miniature replicas of Orissan rekha deul.
