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.
