Corn salad grows wild in parts of Europe, northern Africa and western Asia.
In Europe and Asia it is a common weed in cultivated land and waste spaces.
In North America it has escaped cultivation and become naturalized on both the eastern and western seaboards.

As a cultivated crop, it is a specialty of the region around Nantes, France, which is the primary producer of mâche in Europe.
