Étienne Pélabon (in Occitan : Estève Pelabon - Tolon, 25 January 1745 - Marseille ?, 1 November 1808) was a Provençal Occitan-language writer from the 18th century.[1][2] He is above all remembered for his play Maniclo (classical norm : Manicla).

Maniclo was staged for the first time in 1789, and according to Occitan scholar Robèrt Lafont, 12,000 copies were printed.
