The Old Saint John Nepomocene Cemetery, Wrought-Iron Cross Site is a historic site near Orrin, North Dakota that includes wrought-iron crosses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The listing included 62 contributing objects.[1]

No individual specific blacksmith is identified in the National Register database listing for this site, but in other iron cross sites the work can be traced to specific "German-Russian blacksmiths in central North Dakota" who developed individual styles in their crosses and whose "work was known for miles around them."[1][2]: 13
