Morbier (French pronunciation: [mɔʁbje] ⓘ) is a commune in the Jura department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in Eastern France. From 1680 to 1920, Morbier was, with Morez, the centre of Comtoise clock production. It gave its name to the Morbier cheese, which is produced in a larger area in the Jura Mountains. It is part of Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park.
