Center Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Southampton, Massachusetts. The 6.5-acre (2.6 ha) cemetery is located on the west side of Massachusetts Route 10, about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) north of Southampton Center. It was the town's first cemetery, with the oldest marker dating 1738. The grounds underwent several expansions to reach their present size, and further growth is contemplated. In the 1830s a receiving vault was added, and an iron fence was installed around three sides of the perimeter in 1900. The Soldiers' Monument, a red sandstone obelisk which stands prominently at the cemetery entrance, was placed in 1866.
The cemetery listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
