Craigton Cemetery is a cemetery in south-west Glasgow dating from the mid-19th century. It stands on Berryknowes Road.

The cemetery has a Jewish section containing 230 graves.[1] The cemetery also contains 251 commonwealth war graves from the First and Second World Wars.[2]

Partly due to the proximity to Ibrox Stadium, the cemetery has strong links to Rangers Football Club.

The original entrance is to the south-east. A new entrance to the north was created to serve the crematorium. The north half of the cemetery is relatively flat and open. The south half slopes fairly steeply south to north and is more densely filled with monuments.

Vandalism in the cemetery is widespread.
