Mount Calvary Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery in Columbus, Ohio, located west of downtown next to Green Lawn Cemetery and by the now-abandoned Cooper Stadium. It is the oldest active Catholic cemetery in Franklin County. It is maintained by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus, and has approximately 40,000 interments over 40 acres (16 ha).

Mount Calvary is divided into two sections that were historically paid for and separately maintained by two parishes of different ethnic backgrounds. The north section, "Holy Cross," was for the German parish, and the "Cathedral" section was for the Irish parish. Separating those two sections is the "Priests' Circle," reserved for clergy.
