Helenopolis in Palestine

Helenopolis in Palestine (Greek: Ἑλενόπολις) was a town and episcopal see in the late Roman province of Palaestina Secunda, in the Byzantine Empire.

It was named for the mother of Constantine the Great, Helena. It is identified as either modern Daburiyya or with Kafr Kama.

As a diocese that is no longer residential, it is listed in the Annuario Pontificio among titular sees. Its last titular bishop was John Francis Hackett.
