Sword Beach var kodenavnet for en af de fem landingszoner ved kysten af Normandiet, hvor de allierede landede den 6. juni 1944 som en del af invasionen af Europa, der indledte slutningen på den tyske besættelse af Vesteuropa.
Sword Beach var den østligste landingsstrand. Landing på Sword Beach var et ansvar for den britiske 3. infanteridivision og den britiske 27. panserbrigade. Sword Beach ligger nær Ouistreham og Caen. Det lå cirka 14,5 kilometer fra Caen, mindre end 16 kilometer fra Gold Beach og 6,4 kilometer fra Juno Beach.
