Spodnje Škofije (pronounced [ˈspoːdnjɛ ʃkɔˈfiːjɛ]; locally also Prva Škofija,[2] Italian: Scoffie; former Italian name: Albaro Vescovà) is a settlement in the City Municipality of Koper in the Littoral region of Slovenia.

[3] A major border crossing on the Highway 5 into Italy was located here, with the Italian side known as Rabuiese.

[2] The name Škofija (literally, 'diocese') is derived from the common noun škof 'bishop',[4] and the numbering refers to tenant farms originally owned by the Diocese of Koper.

After the war, it was part of the Free Territory of Trieste and it was under Anglo-American military administration until 1954, when it was ceded to Yugoslavia.

During the Ten Day War, fighting between the Yugoslav federal army and Slovenian defense forces took place near Škofije.
