The Prescott City Cemetery is the principal burying ground for the city of Prescott, Arkansas. It is located in the northwestern part of the city, and is roughly bisected by United States Route 371. The modern (20th-century) portion of the cemetery is located on one side of the highway, while a historic section, also known as the De Ann Cemetery Historic Section, is located on the other.
