Sobrarbe is one of the comarcas of Aragon, Spain. It is located in the northern part of the province of Huesca, part of the autonomous community of Aragon in Spain. Many of its people speak the Aragonese language locally known as fabla.

Sobrarbe is a mountainous region with some of the highest altitudes in the Pyrenees mountain range,[1][2] extending from the heights of the Axial Pyrenees in the north and in the border with France, to the external Pyrenean mountain ranges in the south which separate it from the Aragonese mountains.

The administrative capital is Boltaña and the economic development capital is Aínsa.
