Moissy-Cramayel is a commune in the metropolitan area of Paris, France. It is located 30.8 km. (19.1 miles) southeast from the center of Paris (as the crow flies), in the "new town" of Sénart, created in the 1970s.

With 17,103 inhabitants in 2006, Moissy-Cramayel is one of the satellite towns of Paris, being separated from the urban area of Paris by some agricultural land. However, with the rapid growth of the area of Sénart, of which Moissy-Cramayel is a central component, it is expected that in the near future Moissy-Cramayel, like the other communes of Sénart, will become physically linked to the urban area of Paris.

Its inhabitants are called Moisséens.
