Jubba (Persian: جُبّه; Turkish: Cübbe), is an ankle-length, robe-like garment, usually with long sleeves, similar to a kaftan. The jubba is especially worn in Middle East.[1] It is synonymous to the Arabic thawb.

In Islamic societies, jubbas are worn by clerics, judges, barristers, dervishes, and professors.
