Cemetery in Bagneux, France

Cimetière parisien de Bagneux is one of the three Parisien cemeteries extra muros, located in Bagneux. The cemetery has a large Jewish section (many of the divisions have exclusively Jewish graves) and is sometimes known as the Jewish cemetery.

Before the site became a cemetery, it was the scene of heavy fighting in May 1871, in the war between the Versailles and the Fédérés. The cemetery was opened on 15 November 1886 and is one of the three Parisien Cemeteries extra muros, the others being Cimetière Parisien de Thiais (opened in 1929) and Cimetière Parisien de Pantin. It was opened at the same time as Pantin, (which is northeast of Paris). Both have similar entrances. Bagneux is the smallest of the three cemeteries serving Paris, but the most active.

The cemetery has a number of military sections. There are two divisions dedicated to the French Military who died in the First and Second World War. Division 19 contains two sections dedicated to British Commonwealth dead and which are maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. These plots contain around 35 Commonwealth service war graves of the First World War (mostly British soldiers who died in 1914), and a few from the Second. A notable example was John Wilson (1889–1914), who was a peacetime Scottish professional footballer and died of wounds.

Located to the southwest of the city of Paris, France, the main entrance to the Cimetière de Bagneux is located at 43–45, Avenue Marx Dormoy, in Bagneux, Hauts de Seine. There are two smaller entrances: Porte de Fontenay on Avenue Jean Jaurès (near the junction with Avenue Marx Dormoy) and Porte de Bagneux on Rue de l'Égalité (near the junction with Avenue de Garlande). The cemetery is located next to the small local (communal) cemetery.

The Cimetière de Bagneux is a short walk from the Châtillon – Montrouge station, which can be reached by taking line 13. The Cimetière de Bagneux is also served by bus lines 68, 128, and 323. There is a Vélib' station at Rue Molière (21209).
