Florange (; Lorraine Franconian: Fléischengen/Fléschéngen; ) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

==History== Between 1870 and 1918, the German state occupied Florange, which was then known as Flörchingen. The blacksmith's art and then steelmaking have been a constant in the city ever since the De Wendel family installed itself and Jean-Martin Wendel (1665-1737), who founded the industrial fortune of the family.
