Saint-Papoul is a commune in the Aude département in southwestern France.

The town of Saint-Papoul was founded during the 8th century when an abbey was established here, dedicated to Saint Papulus.[1]

The diocese of Saint-Papoul, of which Saint-Papoul Cathedral was the center, was created an episcopal see by John XXII in 1317.[2]
