Sant'Elena dei Credenzieri, Religious building in Sant'Eustachio district, Rome, Italy.

The church contained three altars: the main one dedicated to Saint Helena, another to the Assumption, and a third to Saint Catherine.

First mentioned in Pope Urban III's decree of 1186 as San Nicola de Mellinis, the church underwent reconstruction in 1594 by architect Francesco Ferrari.

The Credenzieri brotherhood, composed of servants and domestic workers of cardinals and Roman nobility, received the church from Pope Gregory XIII in 1577.

The church stood in Piazza Sant'Elena between Largo Arenula and Largo di Torre Argentina until its demolition in 1888 for the construction of Via Arenula.

At the back of the church, a cupboard contained a fresco depicting the Holy Family, reflecting the building's connection to its credenzieri heritage.
