Combray () is a commune in the Calvados department in Normandy in north-western France. The commune is part of the area known as Suisse Normande.
Combray is also an imagined village in Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time), a book which was strongly inspired by the village of his childhood, Illiers, which has now been renamed Illiers-Combray in his honor. Combray is the title of the first part of the first volume of À la recherche du temps perdu, titled Du côté de chez Swann (''Swann's Way'').
