Pont-l'Évêque (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃ levɛːk] ⓘ) is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France.

In the summer of 1793, in the wake of the Montagnard seizure of power, the town called on neighboring villages to rise up against those who had imprisoned "the most ardent defenders of true liberty".

[3] During World War II, the town was severely damaged by a two-day battle in August 1944.

[4] The town serves as the setting for Gustave Flaubert's story Un cœur simple and features heavily in the book 13 - Lucky For Some which is about the history of the 13th (Lancashire) Parachute Battalion.

Starting in the 10th century, the local bishop (évêque) took responsibility for building and repairing the bridges and roads in France.
