Maplewood Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Pleasant Street in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Established in 1864, the 15-acre (6.1 ha) cemetery is the city's eighth. It is laid out in a roughly rectilinear manner, departing from the popular rural cemetery movement, which preferred more picturesque but less space-efficient winding paths and roads. It is the location of a Civil War memorial, placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution.[2]

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
