Graye-sur-Mer is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region, in northwestern France.^[3] It lies 1 km west of Courseulles-sur-Mer, and 18 km east of Bayeux.^[4]

The commune probably acquired its name from an old landed estate in its vicinity owned by a knight subordinate to William the Conqueror, Anchetil de Greye.
