That is called reverse geocoding. The Google Maps API supports
reverse geocoding (Since 2.133):
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#ReverseGeocoding

You could also investigate geonames.org:
http://www.geonames.org/export/reverse-geocoding.html

or the other third party geocoders on this page:
