Lindenhoek Chalet Military Cemetery is a British military cemetery from the First World War, located in the hamlet of Lindenhoek, south of Kemmel. The cemetery was established in March 1915 by medical posts and combat units and remained in use until October 1917. After the war, approximately 130 more graves from the battlefields around Kemmel were added. The cemetery contains the graves of 317 soldiers, 69 of whom are unidentified. The cemetery has a rectangular plan and is slightly raised above street level, surrounded by a brick wall.

The first fallen soldiers at Lindenhoek Chalet Military Cemetery have been given their eternal resting place here since March 1915. The cemetery was continuously used by combat units and field ambulances until October 1917 (end of the 3rd Battle of Passchendaele). After the armistice, the cemetery was expanded to include more than 100 casualties who fell near Kemmel during the German Spring Offensive - spring 1918.

An interesting anecdote concerns the name of the cemetery. It refers to a chalet that stood in the hamlet before the war. This chalet served as a point of reference for the soldiers and gave the cemetery its name.
