Tamworth Cemetery, also known as Wigginton Road Cemetery, is on Wigginton Road to the north of Tamworth town centre in Staffordshire. It opened in 1876, when the churchyard of St Editha's parish church closed to burials, and the first burial took place that December. The cemetery holds 31 Commonwealth war graves: 21 from the First World War and 10 from the Second World War.
