Yegoshikha Cemetery ({{langx|ru|Егошихинское кладбище|Yegoshikhinskoye kladbishche}}) is the principal cemetery of the Russian city of Perm. It takes its name from the Yegoshikha River which borders it and was founded in the second half of the 18th century.{{Cite web |title=Некрополи Перми ...и не только - Егошихинское кладбище |url=http://permnecropol.ucoz.ru/index/egoshikhinskoe_kl/0-28 |access-date=2023-06-08 |website=permnecropol.ucoz.ru}}{{Cite book |last=Терзи |first=Юля |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=v2xYEAAAQBAJ&dq=%D0%95%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B5+%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%89%D0%B5&pg=PT9 |title=Пермь.

In 1784, the governor of Perm and Tobolsk, Eugene Kashkin, ordered the construction of a church for burying the dead. Near the first church at the cemetery, two more were built later: the Church of All Saints and the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin.{{Cite web |date=2007 |title=Тайны Егошихинского кладбища |url=https://www.perm.kp.ru/daily/24002/81521/}}

In the 1930s, executed political prisoners used to be buried in the cemetery. In 1996, the Perm branch of Memorial erected a monument to the victims of the Great Purge. The installation of the monument was sponsored by donations from Perm residents and the city and regional administrations.{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Q4dyCQAAQBAJ&dq=%D0%95%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B5+%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%89%D0%B5&pg=PT299 |title=Топография террора.
