San Paolo di Civitate is a town and comune in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy.
San Paolo was founded in the mid-15th century, mostly as a colony of Albanians. Nearby had existed since the 1st millennium BC in ancient times a town of the Daunians, Teate or Tiati, known under the Romans as Teanum Apulum.
In the Middle Ages, known as Civitate, the old town was the seat of the Battle of Civitate (1053) between Papal and Norman forces.
