Nompatelize (French pronunciation: [nɔ̃patliz] ⓘ) is a commune in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France.
This is a reference to the hilly territory in which the village is located and which at one time was owned by the nearby Étival Abbey.
"Ban" is an old word for a territory while "haut" (high) is a reference to the uneven topography.
The commanding position of the little plateau, between the valleys of the Meurthe and of the Valdange provides remarkable views towards Raon-l'Étape and Saint-Dié-des-Vosges respectively to the north and to the east, accessible to motorists travelling along the departmental road RD32 which connects Saint-Dié with the Haut du Bois Pass and the road to Rambervillers.
A principal source of employment is a car parts plant owned by the Faurecia company.
