Norra begravningsplatsen, literally "The Northern Burial Place" in Swedish, is a major cemetery of the Stockholm urban area, located in Solna Municipality. Inaugurated on 9 June 1827, it is the burial site for a number of Swedish notables.
The largest part of the cemetery is managed by Stockholm municipality, despite being located in the neighbouring municipality of Solna. The site also has a Catholic and a Jewish burial ground with their own administrators. The Catholic burial ground was established in 1847 to the north of the oldest part of the cemetery and next to the Catholic part is the Jewish burial ground, which was established in 1857. The Catholic and Jewish burial grounds also have chapels.
