Sieber is a village in the borough of Herzberg am Harz in the district of Göttingen in South Lower Saxony (Germany).

Sieber lies at a height of 340 m above sea level. The settlement is spread out over a length of several kilometres in a narrow valley, running from east to west, through which the river of the same name flows. A tributary of the Sieber, the Goldenke, joins it in the village.
