bigworld12 has close to the right answer here, but it breaks if your context menu is templated. Try:

DataGridRow row =
            ((sender as MenuItem)?.GetAncestors()
               ?.FirstOrDefault(dpo => dpo.GetType() == typeof(ContextMenu)) as ContextMenu)
               ?.PlacementTarget as DataGridRow;

for the code-behind. I used nullable operators in case you somehow get here without the expected parent tree and target (maybe by triggering the context menu while off the grid.)
