Kyrkö mosse is a place outside Ryd in Tingsryd municipality, Småland which is known for "Åke's scrap car". The place is also known as the "Car Graveyard".

Kyrkö moss is located just outside Ryd along county road 119 towards Hässleholm. The car cemetery, or scrapyard, on the bog has a long history. Åke Danielsson, who was called "Åke på myren", was born in 1914 and died on November 27, 2000, and engaged in peat mining on the bog before he started scrapping cars as a sideline in 1940. The business was shut down at the end of the 1980s, and when Danielsson left the bog in 1991, the cars remained.
