The soubashi (Turkish language: subaşı, Albanian language: subash, Serbo-Croatian language: subaša) was an Ottoman gubernatorial title used to describe different positions within Ottoman hierarchy, depending on the context.^[1] This title was given to Ottoman timar holders who generated more than 15,000 aspers per annum^[2] or to the assistants of the sanjak-bey.^[3] The term was also used for commander of the town or castle in Ottoman Empire, an ancient version of chief of police.^[4]

A surname found among Balkan families, Subaša or Subašić, is derived from the title.
