Graysexuality, greysexuality, gray asexuality, or gray-sexuality is a sexuality within the a-spectrum. It is often defined as limited amounts of sexual attraction that can vary in intensity.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] Individuals who identify with gray asexuality are referred to as being gray-A, gray ace, and are within what is referred to as the "a-umbrella".^[5]^[6] Within the a-spectrum are terms such as demisexual, graysexual, asexual, and many other types of non-allosexual identities.^[7]

The emergence of online communities, such as the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), has given graysexuals locations to discuss their orientation.^[8]
