St John's Presbyterian Church Cemetery is located at the rear of St John's Church in Papatoetoe, Auckland. St John's is one of the oldest churches in Auckland having been established in 1854. The cemetery reflects the names of the pioneers of Papatoetoe and nearby suburbs of Mangere, Otahuhu, Otara and East Tamaki. Many of the pioneers are noted in the book "Old Manukau" by A.E. Tonson.

The burial records are held at the Church Manse at 11a Konini Avenue. There is a pathway through the cemetery and out the back to the Manse. The earliest death date is Jane Anne Findlay d. September 1856 aged 9.

There is now a large area allocated along the length of the eastern boundary for the interment of ashes. The cemetery is still in operation today with a majority of interments being ash into the cremated remains area or added to existing burial sites. It is a flat cemetery with good access from a large carpark alongside the cemetery.
