San Paolo di Civitate is a town and comune in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of south-east Italy.

San Paolo di Civitate was historically an Arbëreshë settlement; the inhabitants, however, no longer use the Albanian language.

Nearby had existed since the 1st millennium BC an ancient town of the Daunians, Teate or Tiati, known by the Romans as Teanum Apulum.

Civitate was the seat of a diocese in the 11th century, when its bishop Amalgerius (or Amelgerius) took part in two provincial synods in 1061 and 1062.

In 1302, shortly after his destruction of the Muslim settlement of Lucera, the Angevin king Charles II gave permission to a small group of Saracens originally from there to settle as a community of their own in Civitate but it never became of any significance.
