Etoile Sportive Paulhan-Pézenas is a French association football club based in the commune of Pézenas, Hérault. The club was founded in 2012 through a merger of two local clubs Etoile Sportive Paulhanaise and AS Pézenas Tourbes.

History
The merger of Etoile Sportive Paulhanaise and AS Pézenas Tourbes to form Etoile Sportive Paulhan-Pézenas was announced on 6 June 2012. Former chairman of AS Pézenas Tourbes, Stéphane Mouton, took control of the new club, with Pascal Dagany appointed coach. The club entered the Division d'Honneur in the Languedoc-Roussillon region for the 2012–13 season. Following a good initial campaign, they finished second in the league, by one point.[1]
After finishing third in the 2013–14 season, the club won the Division d'Honneur, and promotion to Championnat de France Amateur 2 in the 2014–15 season, on goal average having finished level on points with AF Lozère.[2]
The club finished top of their CFA 2 group, gaining promotion to the Championnat de France Amateur. The club narrowly avoided relegation from the 2016–17 Championnat de France Amateur, after finishing in the relegation places but gaining a reprieve due to administrative decisions affecting other clubs.[3]
In 2018 the club were relegated by finishing bottom of their Championnat National 2 group, and given a further administrative relegation of two divisions due to financial non-compliance.[4]
