Azeville is a commune in the Manche department in the Normandy region in northwestern France.

==World War II== Some of the first German fortifications built on the French coast were started at Azeville battery in 1941. The Germans installed four First World War 105 mm guns in concrete casements. The guns at the battery fired upon Utah Beach on D-Day (6 June 1944) and the battery fell into American hands on the morning of 9 June 1944. The battery is now a museum.
