Sbida or Sbide was a town of ancient Cilicia and in the later Roman province of Isauria, inhabited in Roman and Byzantine times.[1] It became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[2]

Its site is located near Yukarıçağlar, Asiatic Turkey.[1][3]
