Sophia is a ward of Georgetown, the capital of Guyana. It's a predominantly Afro-Guyanese community, and one of Georgetown's poorest neighborhoods.

Sophia was where Forbes Burnham presented "Declaration of Sophia" at a People's National Congress meet in December 1974. It outlined the plan for nationalization as a part of a "socialist revolution."
