St. Bernard Cemetery is a Catholic cemetery located in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. People of note buried there include politician Joseph D. Ward (1914–2003), and baseball players Nixey Callahan (1874–1934), John T. Keefe (1866–1937) and Pat Moran (1876–1924).

The cemetery dates from the early-to-mid-19th century and remains very active serving several local parishes. In recent years new areas of the cemetery have been opened to accommodate new plots.

The cemetery is arranged by sections named for primarily Catholic saints, as well by streets named by numbers and letters.
