Staro Groblje (Serbian Cyrillic: Cтapo Гpoбљe) is a neighborhood of the city of Niš, Serbia. It is located within the municipality of Palilula. The correct "borders" of the neighborhood are not known but many people consider it to be from Zmaja of noćaja/Змаја од ноћаја street up to the old cemetery which the neighborhood got the name from.
Since the neighborhood does not have any municipal status the population is unknown, but as a person who lives there I would say that there are ~3,000-4,000 people.
