Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet (Occitan: Sant Pau de Fenolhet) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France.

Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet is located in the canton of La Vallée de l'Agly and in the arrondissement of Perpignan.

Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet is twinned with the town of Ennis in the Republic of Ireland.

It is said that the Coat of Arms has a relationship with Jean Lannes, 1st Duc de Montebello, 1st Prince de Siewierz (10 April 1769 – 31 May 1809) and Marshal of the Empire whose coat of arms has the sword pointing up, in recognition for his relationship with Marie Antoinette and Marius Fenouillet during the First Empire.
