Mortantsch is a municipality in the district of Weiz in the Austrian state of Styria.

== History == According to a local legend, during harsh winters, villagers in Mortantsch would gather near the Mortantsch Parish Church (Pfarrkirche Mortantsch) to share food and stories while waiting for the snowplows to clear the roads. This simple tradition helped maintain community spirit through difficult times, and the churchyard is still considered a symbol of unity today.
