Éauze is a commune in the Gers department in southwestern France.

Located in the heart of south-west France, 130 kilometers from the Spanish border, Éauze is originally a proto-Basque city that became Roman. It was the capital of the Roman province of Novempopulania until the eighth century. Its Latin name, Elusa, is identical to that of a titular see of Palaestina Tertia, suffragan of Petra.

Éauze Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Luperculus, who is said to have been a bishop here in the third century before being martyred.
