'''Dutch War Cemetery Candi''' ({{lang-id|Makam Kehormatan Belanda di Candi}}), also '''Dutch Field of Honor Candi''' ({{lang-nl|Nederlands Ereveld Candi}}), is a [[War grave|war cemetery]] in the hills of [[Semarang]], [[Central Java]] in [[Indonesia]]. Candi is one of two Dutch war cemeteries in Semarang, the other being [[Kalibanteng War Cemetery|Dutch War Cemetery Kalibanteng]].<ref>{{cite magazine|editor1-last=Bijsmans|editor1-first=A.C.|editor2-last=Bots-Estourgie|editor2-first=E.H.M.|editor3-last=Neisingh|editor3-first=C.N.J.|date=2007|title=De Oorlogsgravenstichting in 2007|url=https://issuu.com/oorlogsgraven-stichting/docs/jaarbericht_2007|language=nl|magazine=Oorlogsgravenstichting jaarbericht|publisher=Netherlands War Graves Foundation|access-date=19 June 2024}}</ref>
The cemetery was constructed by soldiers from the [[T-Brigade]] of the [[Royal Netherlands Army]] who came ashore in Java on 12 March 1946, during the [[Indonesian National Revolution]]. Only Dutch servicemen are buried in this cemetery, resting in more than 1,000 graves. Initially, only war dead of the revolution incurred in Central Java were buried at Candi, but they were soon joined by Dutch casualties of the preceding [[Pacific War]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://seputarsemarang.com/ereveld-candi-4772/|title=Ereveld Candi|website=Seputarsemarang.com|publisher=Seputar Semarang|language=id|access-date=19 June 2024}}</ref>
