Chablis Grand Cru is a wine Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) in the Chablis region of France, classified as part of the Burgundy wine region. It is reserved for the best quality sites in the general Chablis AOC. The sites are all on the right bank of the River Serein.

The wines are all white, from the chardonnay grape.

The Grand Crus of Chablis are connected on a chain of three interlocking slopes on the right bank overlooking the Serein. The seven Grand Cru vineyards are (from southeast to northwest):

  • Blanchot
  • Les Clos
  • Valmur
  • Grenouilles
  • Vaudesir
  • Les Preuses
  • Bougros

There is an eighth vineyard, la Moutonne, that has "quasi" Grand Cru status. (It is recognized by the BIVB, but not by the INAO.) It is located entirely within the Grand Crus les Preuses and Vaudesir.
