Historic Saint John's Anglican Church Cemetery, located along the north end of Portage Road in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada is on land that was the traditional territory of several Indigenous peoples, including the Neutrals, the Mississauga, the Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee.

In 1820, Captain Robert Henry Dee, a member of the Lieutenant-Governor's staff and a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, donated a parcel of land on the east side of Portage Road in Stamford (now a part of Niagara Falls) to be used for building of an Anglican church.

By 1825, the work to build the Church of St. John the Evangelist was completed with the land directly behind the church to be used as a cemetery.

The cemetery itself is fairly small in size, roughly 150 feet by 200 feet, with approximately 300 headstones erected. The majority of the headstones are in fair shape and date from the 1840's to the 2000's. A good number of them have inscriptions that are very difficult, if not impossible to read, likely due to the fact that most of the older headstones were made from erosion-prone limestone. In addition, headstones facing west (the majority) seemed to have suffered from greater erosion that the ones facing east. There are approximately 12 broken headstones as well as fragments of very early headstones arranged neatly around the cemetery.

There are no "grand" headstones in Saint John's Anglican Church Cemetery. Most are very simple slabs, even the ones for the military commanders buried there, veterans of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the War of 1812-1814 in our Niagara area.

The old Saint John the Evangelist Church, restored in the 1980's, still sits along the western border of the cemetery, although it was deconsecrated in 1962 and now serves as a non-denominational Columbarium. A new Saint John the Evangelist Church was built immediately south of the cemetery in 1957.
