Tallinna Metsakalmistu rajati 1933. aastal avaliku linnakalmistuna. Metsakalmistu planeeringus on lähtutud looduslikust kujundusest, välditud on suurejoonelisi hauasambaid ja rajatisi, välja arvatud president Konstantin Pätsi perekonna rahula ja fašismiohvrite mälestusmärk. Ainus ehitis kalmistul on funktsionalistlik paekivikabel.
Esimesena maeti Metsakalmistule 30. detsembril 1933 kirjanik Eduard Vilde. Metsakalmistul on eraldi Eesti riigimeeste, kirjanike, kunstnike, näitlejate, sportlaste ja teiste avaliku elu tegelaste matmispaigad.
