Ivy Hill Cemetery is a cemetery in the Rosemont Historic District of the North Ridge neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia, United States. Burials began at the site in 1837, when it was a family cemetery, and it received a charter as a community cemetery in 1856. The adjoining residential neighborhood was developed beginning in 1908 as a streetcar suburb of Washington, D.C., as trolley lines of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon railway extended from Alexandria's nearby Union Station. The cemetery is now known for its rare and protected flora and fauna. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2025.
