Crookes Cemetery is a cemetery between Crosspool and Crookes in the city of Sheffield, England. It was opened in 1906, and covers 29 acres (120,000 m2).

The cemetery's chapel was Grade II listed on 12 December 1995. Over 29,000 burials have taken place since its opening.[1] Many of the older graves are those of local people who died serving in and during World War I and World War II.[2]

A central alley runs through the cemetery and separates the consecrated grounds to the north and the unconsecrated grounds to the south.
