Balbissa was a town of ancient Cappadocia still inhabited in Byzantine times. ^[1] The name Balbissa does not occur in ancient authors but is inferred from epigraphic and other evidence. ^[1]

A bishop of Balbissa, Leontius was accused of Bogomilism and tried before the synod in Constantinople in 1143. ^[2]

Its site is located near Yaylaköy, Asiatic Turkey. ^{[1] [3]}
