The Indian Burial Ground is a historic Native American cemetery on Narrow Lane in Charlestown, Rhode Island. Now part of a larger municipal park, the small (0.1-acre (0.040 ha)) cemetery is believed to have been the burying ground for leaders of the Narragansett and Niantic tribes. It is now fenced off by an iron post and rail fence, erected in the late 19th century.[2]

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1]
