Ürzig is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The municipality lies surrounded by vineyards in the great bend in the Moselle between Bernkastel-Kues and Traben-Trarbach, not far from Trier. Ürzig is found on the river’s left bank, where very steep slopes rise up to the Eifel. Over the other side of the Moselle, the valley broadens out onto very flat countryside that eventually runs up against the Hunsrück.

Ürzig belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Bernkastel-Kues, whose seat is in the like-named town.

Neighbouring municipalities are, among others, Kinheim, Erden, Lösnich and also Zeltingen-Rachtig. The nearest middle centres are the double town of Bernkastel-Kues, some 9 km away, and the district seat, Wittlich, some 8 km away. Trier lies some 37 km away.

The population density is 150 inhabitants per square kilometre. The local speech in the region is Moselle Franconian (Moselfränkisch), part of the Central Franconian dialect group.
