Hélène is a drame in four acts and five tableaux of 1891, with French words by Paul Delair and incidental music by André Messager.

Starting with a first act march for returning soldiers, the authors of the Annales praised Messager's incidental music, despite echos of Gounod, Thomas and particularly Bizet and his L'Arlésienne.
