Mars-la-Tour () is a commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in northeastern France.
History The Battle of Mars-la-Tour was fought on 16 August 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War near the town of Mars-la-Tour.
The railway line between Longuyon and Pogny reached Mars-la-Tour in 1876, at which time a small train station was built.Jacquin, Mars-la-Tour (série: Monographies communales de Meurthe-et-Moselle, no. 349), 1888, collection Bibliothèque municipale de Nancy, pp. 230, 232. On 30 August 1919 the station witnessed a minor accident when a freight train collided with a train full of coal, killing one train's conductor.Le Figaro du 31 août 1919, . The station no longer exists, however.
