Longraye was a small village, also known as a commune, located in northwestern France. It was part of the Calvados area in the Normandy region.

On January 1, 2017, Longraye joined with other nearby villages to form a new, larger commune called Aurseulles. This means Longraye is no longer a separate commune on its own.
