The Bradford Burial Ground is an historic cemetery at 326 Salem Street in the Bradford section of Haverhill, Massachusetts. The 1-acre (0.40 ha) cemetery was established in 1665, on land given by John Heseltine to the town of Bradford. The oldest readable marker in the cemetery has a date of 1689, but there are likely to be older burials. The most recent burials date to the 1950s. The cemetery is encircled by a stone wall that was built as part of a Works Progress Administration project in the 1930s.[2]

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[1]
