Hauteville-la-Guichard (French pronunciation: [otvil la ɡiʃaʁ]) is a commune in the Manche department in Normandy in north-western France (population: 425 in 2006).
It is thought to be the original stronghold of the Hauteville family who made their fortunes in southern Italy and Sicily as the Norman kings of Sicily, beginning with the modest Norman seigneur Tancred of Hauteville, who is commemorated by a simple exhibit housed in the former presbytère.
