Pons [pɔ̃] est une commune du Sud-Ouest de la France, située dans le département de la Charente-Maritime (région Nouvelle-Aquitaine). Ses habitants sont appelés les Pontois. Centre industriel actif et ville de forte tradition commerciale, Pons est une des principales agglomérations de la partie méridionale de la Charente-Maritime. À mi-chemin entre Saintes et Jonzac, elle est le premier pôle économique du Pays de Haute-Saintonge. Juchée sur un promontoire rocheux où se dresse fièrement son emblématique donjon, baignée dans sa partie basse par les différents bras de la Seugne, cette cité médiévale et ancienne place-forte protestante possède un important ensemble patrimonial qui en fait une ville touristique de premier plan.
