Pope Honorius III (c. 1150[2] – 18 March 1227), born Cencio Savelli, was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 18 July 1216 to his death.

As pope, he worked to promote the Fifth Crusade, which had been planned under his predecessor, Innocent III.

He also gave approval to the recently formed Dominican and Franciscan religious orders.
