Merey (French pronunciation: [məʁɛ]) is a commune in the Eure department of the Normandy region in northern France.

As Madrie (Pagus Madriensis, later pays de Merey) it was a pagus in the north of Gaul lying between the Seine river and the rivers Eure and Iton. At the beginning of the fifth century, when the Notitia provinciarum was compiled, it was a Roman administrative division or pagus of Provincia Lugdunensis Secunda.

It became part of Normandy in the 10th century and is now in the region called Normandy.
