Haut-Clocher (in French pronounced as /o klɔʃe/; ; 1574: Sittersdorff) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.
The village was built on a hill at the top of which was a church which gave the village its name (in French, a bell tower is a "clocher" and "haut" means high.)
The French name Haut-Clocher replaced the former German name Zittersdorf.
The commune was ruled by the seigneurs (lords) of Fénétrange, then by the bailliage of Lixheim.
