Several places have been proposed as the tomb of Jesus, the place where Jesus Christ was buried:

  • Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, accepted by many Christians and scholars as built on ground on which Jesus was crucified and buried
  • Garden Tomb, discovered in the 19th century outside of Jerusalem, considered a possible site of Jesus's tomb by its Protestant owners
  • Roza Bal in Srinagar, India, a shrine venerated by locals and Ahmadiyya Muslims as the grave of a sage named Yuz Asaf, or "son of Joseph"
  • Talpiot Tomb, rock-cut tomb in the East Talpiot neighborhood, five kilometers south of the Old City in East Jerusalem
  • Tomb of Jesus in Shingō, Japan, where, according to legend, Jesus died, aged 106, after he escaped the crucifixion in Jerusalem
