Crangon crangon is a species of caridean shrimp found across the northeastern Atlantic Ocean.

Common names include brown shrimp,[2] common shrimp, bay shrimp, and sand shrimp, while translation of its French name crevette grise (or its Dutch equivalent grijze garnaal) sometimes leads to the English version grey shrimp.
