Telgruc-sur-Mer (, literally Telgruc on Sea; ) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France.
== History == On 3 September 1944, during World War II, the village was subjected to heavy bombing by American B17s even though the occupying German soldiers had moved out on 30 August and the village was in the hands of American troops. 108 deaths were recorded spread between French civilians, resistance fighters and the US Army 17th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron. The 16th century St. Magloire Church was partly destroyed; however the bell tower remained standing. The church has been remodelled and rebuilt and was consecrated in 1951.
