The Panteón Francés de la Piedad ("French Cemetery of the Mercy") is a cemetery in Mexico City in which several notable people are interred. It is located in the southern section of the city, adjacent to the medical center, the Centro Medico Metro station, and the Colonia Buenos Aires neighborhood.

Note that there is another cemetery with a similar name, "Panteón Francés de San Joaquín", in the northwestern section of the city, near the Panteones metro station; it is not the same cemetery.

Panteón Francés de la Piedad started selling plots and burials in 1865. It was enlarged twice, in 1877 and again in 1920. In 1942 sales were closed and a new cemetery, Panteon Frances de San Joaquin opened. That one is still in use today.
