Fréland (; ) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.
==History== During the German occupation in World War II, in August 1944, eleven Polish prisoners of war escaped from a nearby German prisoner-of-war camp with the help of the local populace. The residents then provided shelter to the Poles for over three months until the settlement was liberated by the American army on December 6, 1944.
