Horní Suchá (Polish: Sucha Górna, Cieszyn Silesian: Górno Sucho, German: Ober Suchau) is a village in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has 4,536 inhabitants (2010), with the Polish minority representing 17.1% of the population.
The name is of topographic origin, supposedly derived from an older name of a hypothetical river or stream Sucha, literally dry, therefore disappearing. The supplementary adjective Horní (German: Ober, Polish: Górna) means Upper denoting its upper location in comparison to sister settlements: Prostřední Suchá (Middle) and Dolní Suchá (Lower).
