Graveney is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Graveney with Goodnestone, in the Swale district, in Kent, England. It is located between Faversham and Whitstable. The main part of the village is located along the intersection of Seasalter Road, Sandbanks Road and Head Hill Road (at the railway crossing), which is surrounded by farmland. The rest of the village is dispersed amongst this farmland. In 1961 the parish had a population of 305.[2]

Features include a local pub ('The Four Horseshoes'), a primary school and a church. There is also a regular bus service that runs through the village.

The Saxon Shore Way (long-distance path) passes around the Graveney Marshes (between Seasalter and Faversham).[3] The marshes are part of the South Swale SSSI.
