The Fulda-Werra Uplands[1] (German: Fulda-Werra-Bergland) are a major natural regional unit (no. 357) in the East Hesse Highlands (major unit group 35) in East and North Hesse and, with small elements in the southeast, in the German state of Thuringia. Most of the range lies right of the River Fulda and left of the Werra. The uplands extend from the Rhön mountains northwards, to the River Weser near Hann. Münden.

The best known and highest mountain and sub-range is the Hoher Meißner in the northeast which reaches a height of 753.6 m above sea level (NN). Other well known upland areas are the Kaufungen Forest in the extreme north, the Stölzinger Hills in the centre and the Seulingswald in the south.
