'''Carpentras''' ({{IPA|fr|kaʁpɑ̃tʁa}}, formerly {{IPA|fr|kaʁpɑ̃tʁas|}};<ref>{{Cite book|title=Traité complet de la prononciation française dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ht9FAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA271|publisher=Mauke|date=1871|language=fr|first=M.-A.|last=Lesaint}}</ref> [[Provençal dialect|Provençal]] [[Occitan language|Occitan]]: ''Carpentràs'' in classical norm or ''Carpentras'' in Mistralian norm; {{langx|la|Carpentoracte}}) is a [[Communes of France|commune]] in the [[Vaucluse]] [[Departments of France|department]] in the [[Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur]] [[Regions of France|region]] in southeastern [[France]].

As capital of the [[Comtat Venaissin]], it was frequently the residence of the [[Avignon papacy|Avignon popes]]; the [[Papal States]] retained possession of the Venaissin until the [[French Revolution]]. Nowadays, Carpentras is a commercial center for Comtat Venaissin and is famous for the [[Truffle|black truffle]] markets held from winter to early spring.
