Grazzanise is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Caserta in the Italian region Campania, located about northwest of Naples and about west of Caserta.

==History== In ancient Roman times, it was an area covered by marshes caused by the nearby Volturno's floods. The town is mentioned for the first time in a bull by emperor Frederick II of 1234, as Graczanum. It was later populated by local vassals of the Angevine kings of Naples and their feudataries. In 1303 it is mentioned as Graczanisius.
