Huna ben Joshua (Hebrew: רב הונא בריה דרב יהושע, read as Rav Huna BeReia DeRav Yehoshua; died 410[1]) was a Babylonian rabbi, of the fifth generation of amoraim.
[5] He was a colleague and a scholarly opponent (bar plugata) of Rav Papa, from whom he was inseparable, both in and out of school.
[6] When Rav Papa became head of the yeshiva of Naresh (an academy that later was relocated to Mata Mehasia, a suburb of Sura and its Yeshiva there), Huna was appointed president of the general assembly ("resh kallah") in the same school.
Later on, he became a business partner of his colleague Rav Papa, and earned his living from selling sesame.
Once in the lifetime of Rav Papa, Huna fell desperately ill, but his life was spared because he was forbearing.
