This is alist of non-extant papal tombs, which includes tombs not included on thelist of extant papal tombs. Information about these tombs is generally incomplete and uncertain.

Chronologically, the main locations of destroyed or unknown papal tombs have been: the obscure tombs of the first two centuries of popesnear Saint Peter, the repeated waves oftranslations from theCatacombs of Rome, the demolition of thepapal tombs in Old St. Peter's Basilica, and the 1306 and 1361 fires in theArchbasilica of Saint John Lateran.

Papal tombs have also been destroyed by other instances of fire, remodeling, and war (most recently,World War II). Others are unknown due to creative or geographically remote methods ofmartyrdom, or—in the case ofPope Clement I—both. Burial in churches outside theAurelian Walls of Rome (Italian:fuori le Mura)—in the basilicas ofPaul orLorenzo—have not generally survived.

The main locations of destroyed or lost papal tombs include:

• Saint Peter's tomb, around which the following popes were traditionally believed to have been buried:Linus,Anacletus,Evaristus.Telesphorus,Hyginus,Pius I,Anicetus (later transferred to theCatacomb of Callixtus),Victor I.^[1] Epigraphic evidence exists only for Linus, with the discovery of a burial slab marked "Linus" in 1615; however, the slab is broken such that it could have once read "Aquilinius" or "Anullinus".^[2]
• TheCatacombs of Rome, specifically theCatacomb of Callixtus, theCatacomb of Priscilla (andSan Silvestro in Capite, built over the catacomb), theCatacomb of Balbina, theCatacomb of Calepodius, theCatacomb of Pontian, and theCatacomb of Felicitas, which were emptied by repeated translations by the ninth century^[3]
• Papal tombs in Old St. Peter's Basilica, which once numbered over 100 papal tombs, nearly all of which were destroyed during the sixteenth/seventeenth century demolition^[4]
• Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran, where over a dozen tombs were destroyed in two fires (1308 and 1361)^[5]
