Oystermouth Cemetery (Welsh: Mynwentydd Ystumllwynarth) is a municipal cemetery in the village of Oystermouth, Swansea, South Wales. It was opened in 1883 and remains in use today, run by the Cemeteries and Crematorium Division of the City and County of Swansea and has 14,162 grave spaces.

The cemetery contains the Commonwealth war graves of 83 service personnel, 28 from World War I and 55 from World War II.
