Nanzdietschweiler is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Kusel district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Oberes Glantal.

Nanzdietschweiler lies in the upper Glan valley where the Landstuhler Bruch (a depression) meets the North Palatine Uplands. The village’s elevation ranges from 220 m to 250 m above sea level. The municipality’s highest peaks reach 384 m above sea level. The municipal area is characterized by woodland, meadows and the species-rich river Glan, which flows through, among other things, the “Heimerbrühl” bird conservation area. Nanzdietschweiler is the biggest municipality in the Verbandsgemeinde by land area, and ranks second in population after Herschweiler-Pettersheim. Nanzdietschweiler arose out of the three centres of Dietschweiler, Nanzweiler and Nanzdiezweiler, each of whose locations is well defined. Dietschweiler lies on the Glan’s left bank in the dale’s upper reaches, mainly on three streets in the area of two small brooks, the Ochsenbach and the Lützelbach, which empty into the Glan. On the hill northwest of this centre lies the Lützelbacherhof, an Aussiedlerhof (post-war agricultural community). Nanzweiler stretches just under a kilometre farther north on the Glan’s left bank, with a settlement concentrated at the riverbank, a linear settlement in the Atzelbach valley and most prominently a settlement on the rise between this brook and the Glan towards the south. Nanzdiezweiler lies on the Glan’s right bank across the river from Nanzweiler as an enclosed clump village north of the Maulschbach, which empties here into the Glan. A smaller part lying farther south stands across the river from Dietschweiler. On the floor of the valley, the village lies some 220 m above sea level. The mountains on the Glan’s left bank reach heights of more than 350 m above sea level (Gardelstein 366 m, Rosengarten 384 m), while those over on the right bank generally are not quite as high as 350 m above sea level.
