The Greby grave field is an Iron Age grave field in western Sweden. It is located north of Grebbestad, Tanum Municipality in Västra Götaland County. With its 220 graves, it is the largest site of this kind in Bohuslän.

In June 1873, Swedish archaeologist and cultural historian Oscar Montelius examined eleven of the graves. The grave inventory included glass pearls, bone combs and other everyday objects, dating to the time of migration.

Similar artifacts have been found in a number of other places in Sweden as well as in Norway, Germany and England
