Soběšovice (Polish: Sobieszowice or Szobiszowice, German: Schöbischowitz) is a village in Frýdek-Místek District, Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. It has a population of 805 (2006). It is located on the shore of Žermanice Dam, in the historical region of Těšín Silesia.
The name is patronymic in origin derived from personal name Sobiesz (Soběš). In Silesian German the beginning s + vocalis a or o was often transformed into sch sound, hence Schöbischowitz and so also in the past in Polish Szobiszowice (sz in Polish correspondents to š in Czech).
The village was first mentioned in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305 as item apud Sobnonem (Sobisonem?). It meant that the village was in the process of location (the size of land to pay a tithe from was not yet precised). The creation of the village was a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known as Upper Silesia.
Politically the village belonged initially to the Duchy of Teschen, formed in 1290 in the process of feudal fragmentation of Poland and was ruled by a local branch of Piast dynasty. In 1327 the duchy became a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg Monarchy.
