The Merville Gun Battery is a decommissioned coastal fortification in Normandy, France, which was built as part of the Germans' Atlantic Wall to defend continental Europe from Allied invasion.

A British force under the command of Terence Otway succeeded in capturing this position, suffering heavy casualties.
