The Jewish cemetery of Siret is a cemetery in Siret, Romania.[1] It is considered to be one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in Eastern Europe. The oldest inscriptions indicate that the cemetery might have been in use around the year 1500.[2] The cemetery stayed in use until the 19th century.[1]
In 2015, the cemetery was added to the list of historic monuments of Suceava County.[3]
