Murray is a city in Salt Lake County, Utah, United States. The population was 34,024 at the 2000 census. Its estimated population in 2005 was 44,555. Nearly all of the growth is due to an annexation of a portion of the Cottonwood West.

The early Mormon settlers were largely from Western European and Scandinavian countries. When the smelter operations began in 1870, the ethnic makeup of Murray dramatically changed with large numbers of workers coming from Eastern European and Asian countries. Over half of the smelter workers came from Greece. Many came from Armenia, Yugoslavia, Italy, and Japan. These groups brought new religious customs to Murray as well. Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, and Catholic church congregations developed. The ethnic diversity of early Murray is very visible in the Murray City cemetery.

Murray is located at 40.652397, -111.893229.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 24.9 km² (9.6 mi²), all land.
