Oaklawn Cemetery is the first public burial ground in Tampa, Florida, United States.

The location was deeded in the mid-19th century and was described as the final resting place for "White and Slave, Rich and Poor."

Established in 1874, it had its own entry gates and was for many years completely separated from Oaklawn by an iron fence.

Among those buried in the St. Louis section are the founder of Ybor City, Vicente Martinez Ybor, five pioneer priests (three of whom died in a 15-day period during the 1887 yellow fever epidemic) and Cecilia Morse, the foundress of Catholic parochial education in the Tampa Bay area.

In 2010 and 2011, the Diocese of Saint Petersburg added Catholic Heritage Markers to the cemetery recognizing the contributions of both Mrs. Morse and the pioneer priests, as well as a site map which delineates the "Saint Louis section" of the graveyard.
