Sobrarbe is a comarca of Aragon, Spain. It is located in the north of Huesca province, making up part of the autonomous community of Aragon. Many of its people speak the Aragonese language locally known as fabla.

Sobrarbe is a mountainous region with some of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees,[1][2] extending from the heights of the Axial Pyrenees in the north on 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 capital is Aínsa.
