The Scatterville Cemetery is a historic cemetery in rural Clay County, Arkansas. It is a 2-acre (0.81 ha) wooded parcel, located just southeast of the junction of County Roads 430 and 418, about 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Rector. The cemetery has thirty marked graves, although county records indicate there were at least 52. The earliest burial dates to 1857, with most occurring in the 1870s. The cemetery is all that remains of the community of Scatterville, an antebellum community which was bypassed by the railroad, and whose inhabitants probably migrated to Rector.

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
