'''Santo Stefano Protomartire''' is a [[Roman Catholic]] church in the town of [[Pozzaglia Sabina]], in the [[province of Rieti]], region of [[Lazio]], Italy.

A church at this site is documented by 1252, however much of this stone church dates from the 15th-century. It still preserves a Romanesque hemicircular apse. It appears to have been patronized by the 17th-century feudal lords of the town, the Marchesi Santacroce. The main altar has a canvas depicting ''St Helen discovers the true cross'' by [[Raffaello Vanni]]. Other altarpieces in the church depict a ''Saints and Madonna of the Rosary'' and a ''Martyrdom of St Stephen''. In the 19th century much of the decoration on the walls was refurbished.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2Inw911 Commune of Pozzaglia Sabina], entry on church.</ref>
