The Hardyville Cemetery, also known as the Hardyville Pioneer Cemetery, at 1776 Arizona State Route 95 in Bullhead City, Arizona, is a historic 2.5-acre (1.0 ha) cemetery that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1][2]

It is the only surviving significant remnant of Hardyville, a once-thriving shipping port for steamboats (on the Colorado River) and had served as the county seat of Mohave County. It contains 17 graves, each covered with a pile of cobble stones, as originally created.[2]

It was listed on the National Register in 2001.[1]
