Woodlawn Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Woodlawn Street in Clinton, Massachusetts.

It occupies a hilly parcel of over 33 acres (13 ha), about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the center of town. It was expanded twice, in the 1890s and in the 1920s. Prominent burials include Erastus and Horatio Bigelow, the town's early leading businessmen.
