Pekuburan Qumran (bahasa Inggris: Qumran cemetery) adalah serangkaian pekuburan kuno yang terletak di sebelah timur Qumran, di Tepi Barat, wilayah Israel. Merupakan area luas yang menuju jalan menurun titik mulainya ngarai-ngarai berbentuk empat jari menjorok ke arah timur. Di ngarai-ngarai inilah lebih banyak pekuburan ditemukan. Diperkirakan ada sekitar 1100 makam dalam pekuburan ini.
Ekskavasi
Meskipun ada banyak makam di daerah ini, Roland de Vaux hanya mengekskavasi 43 di antaranya, sementara Solomon H. Steckoll meneliti sepuluh.[1] sedangkan Broshi dan Eshel tiga.[2] Ekskavasi pekuburan Yahudi telah dihentikan. Dari 43 makam yang diteliti oleh de Vaux, ada 40 kerangka yang dapat dianalisis. Dua puluh tiga di antaranya sekarang berada di Jerman (Collectio Kurth) dan 18 ada di lembaga-lembaga Prancis (Musée de l’Homme, Paris dan École Biblique, Yerusalem).[2]
Jenazah-jenazah itu dikuburkan tanpa barang-barang milik kecuali sejumlah kecil periuk dari zaman Bait Suci kedua pada kaki mereka, meskipun ada pula beberapa yang memakai perhiasan.[3]
