Las Tumbas Le Guillou is a small family graveyard consisting of a grouping of six graves located behind a house and a garden on private property on State Road #200, Barrio Santa Maria, on the Island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. It is the oldest identified European graveyard on the Island of Vieques and is the last remaining example of a private cemetery in all of Puerto Rico. This property once belonged to the Hacienda La Pacience, the first sugar plantation on the Island owned by the Le Guillou Family. There are six tombs which are organized into two groups of two graves and two individual graves. There is only one tomb bearing an inscription, which is the large, double tomb of Teofilo J. J. Le Guillou and his wife, Madame Guillermina Ana Susana Poncet de la Grave which is surrounded by a 6 foot high decorative wrought-iron fence. The site was registered in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, NRIS number 94000923. In September 2013, the area is overgrown with foliage, however the site does occasionally get volunteers that participate in cleaning it up.
