Fort Massey Cemetery is located at the junction of Queen and South Streets in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is bounded to the west by Holy Cross Cemetery. 

The cemetery was established c. 1778, in conjunction with Fort Massey, to serve as a burial place for the garrison stationed at the fort. It contains the remains of those who have served in Canada's military and of other soldiers dating back to the establishment of Fort Massey. In some cases, relatives of military personnel and certain civilians, who had involvement with the military, are also interred here. 

Fort Massey Cemetery is significant for its long history of providing a final resting place for military personnel. It also commemorates two men who were killed in the Halifax explosion, but whose bodies were not recovered.
