Joseph Grimaldi Park is a public garden located off Pentonville Road in Islington, north London. The former burial grounds for St James's Anglican Chapel (formerly known as the Burial Ground of St James's) are located within the park, which is named after the pantomime clown Joseph Grimaldi, who is buried here.[1]

Following refurbishment in 2010, the park now includes a musical artwork dedicated to Grimaldi and his employer at Sadler's Wells, Charles Dibdin.[1]
