Brouay is a village in Normandy about 2 kilometres south of the main road from Bayeux to Caen and roughly midway between these two towns. The War Cemetery is next to the village church.

For the most part, the burials in Brouay War Cemetery relate to the heavy fighting of June and July 1944 following Operation Overlord, when Commonwealth forces attempted to encircle Caen to the south. The cemetery contains 377 Second World War burials, seven of them unidentified.
