Caen Muharebesi, Normandiya Çıkarması'nın ardından 1944 yılının Haziran - Ağustos aylarında Fransa'nın Caen şehri ve etrafında Müttefik Devletler (öncelikle Britanya ve Kanada birlikleri) ile Nazi Almanyası birlikleri arasında meydana gelen muharebe.

Başlangıçta müttefikler çıkarma gününde Normandiya'nın en büyük şehirlerinden biri olan Fransız şehri Caen'i almayı hedefledi. Caen, birkaç sebep için hayati bir amaçtı.

Çıkarma gününde (Normandiya Çıkarması)'nda, Caen İngiliz 3. piyade Tümeni için bir objektifti ve Haziran-Temmuz ayı boyunca muharebelerin ve Ağustos'a ayı için bir odak noktası olarak kaldı.

6 Haziran 1944'te müttefik kuvvetler, Normandiya Çıkarmasını başlatarak Fransa'yı istila etti. Birkaç bin geminin kuvvetiyle Normandiya'da plajlara aniden saldırıldı ve yaklaşık olarak 3,000 uçak bu saldırıyı destekledi. Çıkarma günü sahanlıkları genellikle başarılıydı ama müttefik kuvvetler almayı planladıkları Caen'i ele geçiremedi.
