Saint-Pons-de-Mauchiens (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ pɔ̃s də moʃjɛ̃]; Occitan: Sant Ponç de Mauchins) is a commune in the Hérault department in the Occitanie region in southern France.

A fine mill, the "Moulin de Roquemengarde" on the river Hérault is only 4 km away.

To really escape from the modern world, there is a recently restored footpath (17 km), nicely marked, leading from the village environs right out into the hilly garrigue countryside, perfumed with thyme, lavender and rosemary.

One of the castle's lords owned a pack of ferocious dogs ("chiens" in French) that he let loose at nightfall.

Saint-Pons-de-Mauchiens has Hérault's only cricket club, allowing league and friendly play against visiting touring sides.
