Nay is a town and commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of the Aquitaine region in the south-west of France, in the former province of Béarn.
Due to its close proximity to the town of Coarraze it is often normally referred to with the double barreled name "Coarraze-Nay" (such as its use in "Union sportive Coarraze Nay" or the SNCF train station "Coarraze-Nay")
