The Helena Morpho (Morpho helena) is a Neotropical butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is found in the rainforests of Northern South America.
The wingspan is 75 to 100 millimetres (3.0 to 3.9 in). Many authorities consider Morpho helena a subspecies of Morpho rhetenor, and thus is sometimes named Morpho rhetenor helena.
