Cemitério de São João Batista (Saint John the Baptist's Cemetery) is a municipal necropolis originally owned and operated by the Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Rio de Janeiro (Holy House of Mercy of Rio de Janeiro), and run, since August 2014, by the private company Rio Pax.[1]

Located in the neighborhood of Botafogo, it is the only cemetery in the city's south area, and, on October 5, 2015, it became the first cemetery in Latin America to be featured in Google Street View.[2]
