St John's Lutheran Cemetery is a historic Lutheran cemetery on Upper Tug Fork Road near Alexandria, Kentucky. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. [1]

It is the cemetery of St. John's Lutheran Church, which was established in 1860 and served German Lutherans in both in its Campbell County, Kentucky area and in southern Ohio. [2]

The cemetery was deemed "significant as a place of interment for local German Protestants. It also contains a unique instance of German funerary folk art." [2]
