Jóska Sobri or Jóska Zsubri (born József Pap;[1] 1810 – 17 February 1837) was a Hungarian bandit. He became a legendary outlaw in Transdanubia, Kingdom of Hungary. Fifty years after his death, people still spoke of him, and some thought he was still alive[citation needed].
Sobri, like Sándor Rózsa, is one of the most famous Hungarian betyárs (bandits).
