Barneville-Carteret (French pronunciation: [baʁnəvil kaʁtʁɛ]) is a commune in the Manche department in the Normandy region of north-western France.[3] For many years it has been a popular seaside resort destination.

The commune resulted from a merger of two communes in 1964: Barneville-sur-Mer and Carteret whose port has ferry connections to the Channel Islands.

The inhabitants of the commune are known as Barnevillais or Barnevillaises and Carteretais or Carteretaises.[4]
