Yaakov Chaim Sofer (Hebrew: יעקב חיים סופר, 1870-1939)[1] was a Sephardic rabbi, kabbalist, talmudist and poseq.

In 1904, he journeyed to the Ottoman Palestine together with colleagues Sadqa Hussein and the Asei HaYa'ar to meet with the Hakham Bashi, Yaakov Shaul Elyashar, and to pray at the graves of the righteous.

In Kaf Hachaim (כף החיים), Sofer discusses the halakha in light of the Rishonim and Acharonim.

It is often compared to the Mishnah Berurah in terms of scope and approach, but differs in its more extensive reliance upon quotations.

In addition to the Kaf Hachaim, Sofer authored: This biographical article about a rabbi from the Middle East is a stub.
