Hampton National Cemetery, National cemetery in Hampton, United States
Hampton National Cemetery spans across 27.1 acres with two distinct sections: the Hampton Section on Cemetery Road and the Phoebus Addition near I-64.
The cemetery began operations in 1862 as a burial ground for Union soldiers who died at Fort Monroe, receiving national cemetery status in 1866.
The granite obelisk Union Soldiers Monument stands as a memorial to fallen soldiers and commemorates Dorothea Dix, superintendent of women nurses during the Civil War.

The cemetery contains graves of 55 German and 5 Italian World War II prisoners of war, including 28 sailors from the German submarine U-85.
