Mansfield Center Cemetery is a small cemetery in the Mansfield Center section of Mansfield, Connecticut, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It includes some 300 to 400 headstones.

The site was set aside for use as a cemetery as early as 1693 and it remained in general use for that purpose until the 1870s. The cemetery's 18th-century gravestones, decorated with cherubim, geometric designs, and a variety of funerary symbols, are considered to be illustrative of the rich artistic tradition of funerary stone carving in colonial New England.
