The Le Trou Aid Post Cemetery is a World War I cemetery located in the commune of Fleurbaix, in the Pas-de-Calais departement of France, about {{convert|3|km|mi}} south of the village of Fleurbaix on the D175 road (rue de Pétillon).[1]

British soldiers of the 19th Infantry Brigade made the earliest burials at the site in October 1914 during the First Battle of Ypres.[2] By the end of the war, the cemetery contained 123 graves.[2] This number nearly tripled after a postwar consolidation of war burial sites, when Le Trou Aid Post was expanded by the architect Sir Herbert Baker.[2]

Described as one of Baker's most sentimental works,[3] the rural site is surrounded by a narrow moat and sheltered by a grove of weeping willows. Visitors approach over a footbridge and enter through a delicate cottage-style gateway.[3]

The cemetery contains more than 350 graves, and over two hundred are unidentified.[2] The dead represent the battlefields of Ypres, Le Maisnil (October 1914), Aubers Ridge (May 1915), Loos (September–October 1915), and Fromelles (July 1916).[2]
