Quievrain Communal Cemetery is located 20 km west of Mons on a road leading from the N51 which connects Mons to Quievrain and on to Valenciennes. The N51 Rue Grande passes directly through the village of Quievrain and forms a junction with the Rue des Wagons in the centre of the village. The Rue des Wagons leads for 500 metres (towards the village of Baisleux) and to the left hand turning onto the Rue du Chateau D'Eau. The cemetery is located 400 metres along this road and at the junction with the Rue du Cheval Blanc.
