Eastside Historic Cemetery District, Historic cemetery complex in Detroit, United States.

Established between 1841 and 1850, the district includes Mount Elliott Cemetery, Elmwood Cemetery, and Lafayette Street Cemetery, each representing different religious communities.

The district contains monuments designed by notable sculptors, including the Gothic revival chapel by Albert Jordan and the stone gateway by Walter Schweikart.
