Sulzburg Jewish Cemetery (German: jüdischer Friedhof Sulzburg) is a Jewish burial place located in Sulzburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.^[1] It is listed as a heritage site.

The Jewish cemetery is located on Badstraße^[1] in Berholz Forest.^[2] It spreads over 61.48 ares.^[2]

The cemetery was probably built in the mid-16th century.^[1][2] Jews from Sulzburg and neighbouring locations were buried there until a collective Jewish cemetery was opened in Lörrach in 1670. During several decades, no grave was added and the cemetery fell into ruin.

In 1717, the cemetery recovered its initial role.^[1][2] The small room was built at this time. The cemetery has 462 graves, the oldest datable one being from 1737.^[1][2] Evidence of desecration can be seen in the modern part of the cemetery.^[1]

In 1970, a monument was erected to commemorate the victims of the persecution of Jews in the Third Reich.^[2]
