Phipps Street Burying Ground is a historic cemetery on Phipps Street in Charlestown, Massachusetts, a neighborhood of Boston.

The burial ground was created in 1630, the first cemetery in Boston. The "Charlestown Carver", an anonymous stone cutter active in the 1660s, began an important regional style that was continued by the Lamson family for many generations.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
