Mercurey (French pronunciation: [mɛʁkyʁɛ] ⓘ) is a commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of eastern France.

The town was first documented in the foundation charter for the Saint-Marcel de Chalon-sur-Saône Monastery, which is believed to have been around 580, under the name 'Mercureis'.

According to historical documents the Romans built a temple in his honour when the town was part of one of the Roman Empire's provinces, located on the Lyon to Arles section of their strategically important trading route, the Via Agrippa.

As the largest wine-producing area of the Côte Chalonnaise it has 30 premier cru vineyards.
