The Sint-Jansboschheide quarry is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul in South Limburg. The underground quarry is located southeast of Valkenburg in the southern part of the Biebosch slope forest on the northeastern edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Geuldal. In situ, the plateau plunges steeply for a number of meters, the quarry itself is located near a sunken road (IJzeren Koeweg) that is cut into the plateau from the Sibbergrubbe.
To the north is the Sansovet quarry, about 80 meters to the northwest are the Ingvarsputje and Canadasbergske and about 50 meters to the southwest is the Heiberg quarry.
The quarry was mined by block crushers for the extraction of limestone blocks.
The entrance to the Sint-Jansboschheide quarry has been closed.
The quarry is carved into the Nekum Limestone from the Maastricht Formation.
