You can use the Prolog option with Scaled coordinates:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]π}, Frame -> True,
 Prolog -> {LightGray, Rectangle[Scaled[{0, 0}], Scaled[{1, 1}]]}
]

Mathematica graphics

Note: Using scaled coordinates lets this work for any PlotRangePadding, and with PlotRangePadding->False:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]π}, Frame -> True, 
 Prolog -> {LightGray, Rectangle[Scaled[{0, 0}], Scaled[{1, 1}]]}, 
 PlotRangePadding -> .6]

Mathematica graphics

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]π}, Frame -> True, 
 Prolog -> {LightGray, Rectangle[Scaled[{0, 0}], Scaled[{1, 1}]]}, 
 PlotRangePadding -> -.2, PlotRangeClipping -> False]
