The Gräberfeld Gittrup is a barrow cemetery in Münster (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). It was used from the Bronze Age to the early Pre-Roman Iron Age.

During the excavations, several keyhole-shaped graves (“Schlüssellochgräber“), long barrows, round barrows and simple graves without mound or enclosure were discovered.

Some of the urns are displayed in the Heimatmuseum in Kinderhaus in Münster.
