The Sobieski is a EuroCity (EC) international express train. Introduced in 1994, it runs between Vienna, the capital of Austria, and Warsaw, the capital of Poland, via the Czech Republic.

The train's name honours the Sobieski family, or the House of Sobieski, a notable family of Polish nobility.

As of 2013, the northbound train departs at shortly after 07:00 and the southbound train at shortly after midday. Both trains arrive at their destinations after a journey time of approximately eight and a half hours.[1][2]
