Sošice is a naselje (settlement) in the municipality of Žumberak, Zagreb County, Croatia. According to the 2011 census, it has 77 inhabitants.[1]

The town was an important settlement of the Greek Catholic Church in Croatia.[2] The local parish was formed c. 1746.[3] The parish home was burnt down along with the local school in 1942 by Yugoslav Partisans.[2]

Jazovka, a pit which contained a mass grave from World War II, is located near the settlement.
