The Jewish community in Chotěboř left behind a Jewish cemetery. The Jewish cemetery in Chotěboř is one of the youngest Jewish cemeteries in the Czech Republic.

It was founded in 1894 and burials took place until the 1930s. The cemetery is part of the municipal cemetery in Žižkova Street. Around one hundred modern tombstones have survived to this day. There was also a mortuary with a ceremonial hall and a house from the end of the 19th century. Everything was demolished in the 1980s.
