Highland Lawn Cemetery is a city-owned cemetery^[2] in Terre Haute, Indiana. Opened in 1884, the cemetery includes 139 acres (0.56 km²).

The cemetery features a Richardsonian Romanesque chapel built by architect Jesse A. Vrydaugh in 1893 for a cost of $10,000. In the 1980s, the chapel underwent renovation which was completed in March 1988. Highland Lawn also includes a bell tower built by the Heidenreich Company in 1894, a gateway arch completed by Edward Hazledine and a Colonial rest house designed by W.H. Floyd.^[3]

Highland Lawn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its significance in agriculture and landscaping.
