Jüdischer Friedhof Steinkluppe is a Jewish cemetery in Zurich, established by the Orthodox Israelitische Religionsgesellschaft. The IRG community began in Zurich in 1895.

After separating from the Israelitische Cultusgemeinde in 1898, the IRG acquired this Steinkluppenweg site in 1899. The grounds include a mortuary built in 1921. The cemetery served Orthodox Jewish life in Zurich before the IRG established another burial ground in Binz Witikon in 1936. Most burials then took place at the newer site. Steinkluppe continued to receive burials in special cases, while its trees shape the character of the grounds. Different gravestones mark the cemetery, including stones with traditional Levite pitcher symbols. Children’s graves occupy separate sections within the cemetery. Jewish burial traditions require graves to remain undisturbed, giving the site religious and historical significance within Zurich. The cemetery connects Orthodox community history with the wider story of Jewish life in Zurich and Switzerland. Its trees preserve a distinctive character among Zurich cemeteries.
