Monongahela Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery in Monongahela City, Pennsylvania, established in 1863. Landscape architects Hare & Hare designed a portion of the property.^[2]

The cemetery was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2001.^[3]

The cemetery now occupies 160 acres, but only about 100 acres are included in the National Register listing. John Chislett designed the original 32-acre plot in the rural cemetery tradition. About 60 acres were added in 1915 and designed in the lawn park style by Hare & Hare. The five-acre St. Mary's Cemetery was opened c. 1900 and incorporated into the 1915 expansion.^[3]
