The Kalbecker Grabhügelfeld is a barrow cemetery in the Kalbecker Busch forest in Weeze (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany). The main part of the site dates from the Neolithic to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age (ca. 2000 – 400 BC).
The site might have originally contained more than 1000 barrows and was most likely continuous with the barrow cemetery Grabhügelfeld Marienbaum in Uedem.
