The Old Jewish Cemetery (Polish: Stary Cmentarz Żydowski we Frysztaku) in Frysztak, Poland, was established probably in the 17th century and not later than 1860s,[1] and is located at present-day Parkowa Street south of the town square.

Around thirty matzevahs and the remnants of the old cemetery wall remain until the present-day. The grave of Esther Etel Elbaum[1] (d. 1800), daughter of Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk, surrounded by a metal fence is especially noteworthy.
