Braccagni (Italian: [brakˈkaɲɲi]) is a village in Tuscany, administratively a frazione of the comune of Grosseto.

It is positioned in the northern part of the municipal territory, at the bottom of the hill of Montepescali.

The village of Braccagni was founded in 1846 as an appendix of the frazione of Montepescali, but it increased as a nodal point of the economy of the area after the opening of its own station along the Tirrenica railway line in 1864.^[1][2]
