Uckange (; ; Lorraine Franconian: Ickéng/Ickéngen) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. The inhabitants are called Uckangeois.

== History == The first traces of the Uckangeois date back to more than 6,000 years with the discovery in the 1960s of remains between Ébange and Uckange; located in a disputed area in the Middle Ages, the town of Uckange belonged for centuries to the former Duchy of Luxembourg, in the seigneury of Richemont-Rodemack. The village was ceded to France in 1659 (Treaty of the Pyrenees).
