Hélia Rogério de Souza (born 10 March 1970), nicknamed Fofão, is a Brazilian female retired volleyball player who competed for her country's national team in five consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 1992. She won a gold medal in 2008 and twice won a bronze medal, in 1996 and 2000. She also claimed the gold medal at the 1999 Pan American Games.
