The Grabhügelgruppe Bönninghardt is a barrow cemetery in Kamp-Lintfort (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). It is situated in the Bönninghardt hills in the Leucht forest.

The barrow cemetery dates from the Bronze Age (ca. 1200-800 BC). It had consisted of ca. 50 round barrows. The few finds from the excavations between 1929 and 1931 indicated that the cemetery has been built by the Niederrheinische Grabhügelkultur.

Many of the barrows were destroyed by agricultural use. The few remaining barrows are the forest. They have become flat and are difficult to distinguish from natural mounds. However, at least five round barrows can still be detected in the Leucht forest. The best preserved one lies near the Strohweg path. It is still 1.50 m high and 13 m broad.
