The Jewish cemetery in Grodzisk Mazowiecki , a Polish city ​​in the Masovian Voivodeship , was established in the second half of the 18th century. The Jewish cemetery on Żydowska Street has been a protected cultural monument since 1996.

The cemetery was expanded to the north at the end of the 19th century. In 1929 and 1934, the Jewish community bought more land to expand the cemetery.

It was devastated during World War II and tombstones were used in construction.

Over 200 tombstones have been preserved in the cemetery today.
