Chemberekend Cemetery (Azerbaijani: Çəmbərəkənd qəbiristanlığı) was a multi-confessional cemetery in Baku used until July 1883. The cemetery was located in the southwestern part of the Baku fortress, to the east of the Chemberekend village, a suburb of Baku, on the northeastern slope of the hill known as Pirvanzara. On the city plan of Baku in 1899, drawn up by the city engineer Colonel Nikolai von der Nonne, the cemetery during this period consisted of three sections: the northern section for Muslim burials, the central section for Armenians and Gregorians, and the southern section for Orthodox burials. From the suburb of Chemberekend, the cemetery was separated by Nizhnyaya Chemberekend street. It was demolished under Soviet rule in the 1930s.
