Mouth Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Muskegon County, Michigan, near Montague. Located in a wooded rural area, it is the oldest cemetery in the county and contains about 300 graves. Visitors can enter from dawn to dusk using Sunset Lane, a dirt road behind the former Mouth Elementary School, which is now a church.

Many children are buried there, making it unusual compared to other cemeteries. The cemetery is also known for stories of paranormal activity. One local legend says that a teenage boy sat in "Sadony's Chair" and died in a car accident exactly one year later.

One of the most visited graves belongs to Captain William Robinson, the first keeper of the White River Light Station. He cared for the lighthouse from its opening in 1875 until his death in 1919, passing away just one day before he was scheduled to retire.
