Wampanoag Royal Cemetery is a historic Native American cemetery in Lakeville, Massachusetts. There are approximately 20 graves in the cemetery, all of Native Americans.[2] The burials include direct descendants of the Wampanoag sachem Massasoit. His daughter Amie, his only child to survive King Philip's War, and her descends lived nearby in the Betty's Neck area. The last known burial was that of Lydia Tuspaquin, a drowning victim, in 1812.[3]

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
