The Scotland Cemetery is a historic cemetery in , an unincorporated community in rural Union County, Arkansas. It is located about 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Junction City, off US Route 167 south of the Scotland Presbyterian Church. The cemetery was formally established in 1861, but had been used as a burying ground since the first settlers arrived in the area in the 1840s. It is the only tangible remnant of the community's early days; the nearby church is the third to stand on the site. The earliest grave with a known date is 1842; the cemetery has more than 30 unmarked graves, including some that are probable graves of slaves.^[2]

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005,^[1] at which time it was still open for additional burials.^[2]
