The Oulu Cemetery (Finnish: Oulun hautausmaa) is a cemetery located in the Intiö district close to the city centre of Oulu, Finland.

The cemetery was inaugurated in 1781 by vicar Carl Henrik Ståhle.[1][3] After the vicar the cemetery was first known as Ståhleborg, the oldest section is still called with the old name.[4] There are two funeral chapels in the cemetery: the old chapel designed by architect Otto F. Holm was completed in 1923 and is located in the older section.[5] The new chapel designed by architect Seppo Valjus was built in 1972–1973. The crematory is located in the new chapel building.[6]

The cemetery includes a military cemetery section for soldiers fallen in the Second World War. The war graves area with a war memorial was inaugurated in September 1952. The war memorial, The Battle Has Ended (Finnish: Taistelu on päättynyt), was created by sculptor Oskari Jauhiainen.[7]
