Wollongong Memorial Gardens is a cemetery located in Unanderra, NSW. It was established in 1959 by Wollongong City Council. The cemetery contains an area dedicated to ex-services men and women.

This well-maintained and landscaped memorial space contains a decorative garden bed in the shape of the Rising Sun badge of the Australian Army, a plaque commemorating the Centenary of Anzac in 2015, memorial walls, and a brick columbarium. The walls and columbarium include individual plaques for veterans who are buried on site, or whose ashes are interred there.
