Thornhill cemetery is a major cemetery and crematorium located in the Thornhill, a northern suburb of Cardiff, south Wales. It is located between the A469 road (Thornhill Road) and the M4 motorway.

Thornhill Crematorium was opened in 1953 and occupies a 40-acre (160,000 m2) site as part of the Thornhill Cemetery. The cemetery contains two chapels, The Wenallt and the Briwnant Chapel and the Gardens of Remembrance for the scattering of cremated remains.

Judge and World War II Victoria Cross recipient Sir Tasker Watkins (1918-2007) was cremated here.
