Labuan War Cemetery (Malay: Tanah Perkuburan Perang Labuan) is a Commonwealth World War II graveyard in Labuan, Malaysia. Many of the personnel buried in this cemetery, including Indian and Australian troops, were killed during the Japanese invasion of Borneo or the Borneo campaign of 1945. Others were prisoners of war in the region, including a number of those who perished on the infamous Sandakan Death Marches.

This graveyard was erected by Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Amongst the buried are Jack Mackey (1922–1945) and Tom Derrick (1914–1945) who each received the Victoria Cross.^[1]
