Hora Svaté Kateřiny (until 1945 also Sankt Katharinaberg) is a town in Most District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic with a population of 453 (as of 1 January 2016).
Hora Svaté Kateřiny is located approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) north-west of Most, 44 km (27 mi) west of Ústí nad Labem, and 90 km (56 mi) north-west of Prague, next to the border between the Czech Republic and Germany. It covers an area of 18.46 square kilometres (7.13 sq mi), which includes the municipal districts of Malý Háj (Kleinhan) (449.3 ha) und Rudolice v Horách (Rudelsdorf) (665.5 ha). Together with Hora Svaté Kateřiny proper (629.6 ha) and Svahová I (101.5 ha), these form the four basic settlements and cadastre districts in the town. The small settlement of Pachenkov (Pachenhäuser) is also part of the town.
The stream Kateřinsky potok, a left tributary of Schweinitz, passes through the community area, and the southern boundary of the community follows approximately the stream Telčsky potok, a right tributary of Natzschung. Neighbouring communities are (clockwise from the north): Deutschneudorf in Saxony, Nová Ves v Horách, Boleboř, Kalek, and Brandov. The highest elevation in the community area is Eduardova skala (910 m a. s. l.) on the border to Boleboř community, followed by Kamenny vrch (842 m) near the border to Brandov community, and Růžový vrch at the eastern end of Hora Svaté Kateřiny proper.
The community is only accessed by secondary roads, chiefly road No. 25220 between the Czech-German border near Olbernhau and Boleboř, No. 25219 between Hora Svaté Kateřiny and Mikulovice (a district of Nová Ves v Horách), and No. 25218 connecting the two. A border crossing on a bridge across Schweinitz river connects the town with Deutschkatharinenberg, a part of Deutschneudorf.
