Anglican Christian Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Batu Gajah. Fondly called "God's Little Acre", the cemetery is located at the end of Jalan Hospital in the Changkat neighbourhood of Batu Pahat.

The Anglican Christian Cemetery is split into two parts. The older section has some of the historic tombstones. This section no longer accepts new burials. The new section, located near the Holy Trinity Church, continues to function as a burial ground for the Anglican Christians in Batu Gajah.

 The older section of the Anglican Christian Cemetery is the one of interest to most visitors, due to its wealth of history. Many of the people buried here are connected to the history, not only of Batu Gajah, but also of Malaya. Often called the Batu Gajah War Cemetery, it has many tombstones for the soldiers who died in the Second World War.

Among the graves at the Anglican Christian Cemetery are those of three British plantation managers who were killed by terrorists in Sungai Siput on 16 June, 1948. They were E.A. Walker, J.M Allisan and I.D. Christian. Their murders ignited the Declaration of Emergency in Malaya.
