If you are using the Google Maps API v3 use the geocoding service

var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(55.75320193022759, 37.61922086773683);

geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng}, function(results, status) {
    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
        alert(results[1].formatted_address);
    } else {
        alert("Geocoder failed due to: " + status);
    }
});
