Helena of Znojmo (Czech: Helena Znojemská; Polish: Helena znojemska; c. 1141–1202/06) was a Bohemian princess, a member of the Přemyslid dynasty. She was the daughter of Duke Conrad II of Znojmo and his Serbian wife Maria of Rascia (daughter of Uroš I). Helena was probably named after her maternal aunt, Queen Helena of Hungary, wife of King Béla II.
