Sücka (; dialectal: Sügga) is an (alpine pasture) of Liechtenstein, located in the municipality of Triesenberg. Traditionally a cow pasture, it is situated in the and contains a mountain inn. Triesenberg purchased Sücka from Johann II, Prince of Liechtenstein in 1887.
== History == Sücka was first recorded in 1509 as the Triesener Alp. It came into private manorial ownership in the succeeding century. The Alp remained in private ownership until 1887, though public buildings such as a school and roads had started being constructed before the purchase by the municipality of Triesenberg. The area was developed as an alpine resort and location of a hiking trail. Within Sucka, they are known for making cheeses due to the cows that are traditionally left up there to freely graze during the summer.
