The Neuruppin Jewish Cemetery is located in Neuruppin in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district in the north-west of Brandenburg .

The Jewish cemetery is there in the main cemetery at Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse 61 (field 6).

The cemetery was largely destroyed by desecration during the November pogroms in 1938 and by bombing raids on April 10 and 20, 1945. Only a few tombstones and grave sites have survived. It is no longer used today.
