Fairview Cemetery is a historic cemetery in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. A small section of the cemetery is located in neighboring Dedham. The cemetery was established by the town of Hyde Park in 1892, and became the responsibility of the city of Boston when it annexed that town in 1912.

The core of the cemetery (about 50 of its nearly 58 acres or 23 hectares) was laid out in the 19th century in the then-fashionable rural cemetery style, with winding lanes and a landscaped environment. It was the last public cemetery established in what is now the city of Boston.

The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 16, 2009.

The cemetery contains one British Commonwealth war grave, of a Royal Naval Reserve seaman of World War I.
