Tracy-sur-Mer is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France.
The village was part of the west flank of the British 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division during the first days of the D-day invasion, in close proximity to the port of Arromanches-les-Bains, also known as Gold Beach.
Tracy-sur-Mer has a well-preserved Gothic church dedicated to Saint Martin dating from the thirteenth century.
