RavAcha bar Yosef (Hebrew:אחא בר יוסף) was a fourth-generationBabylonianAmora. He was a close student ofRav Huna and the uncle ofRav Nachman bar Yitzchak.[1]
He was also a student ofRav Chisda, a second- or third-generation Amora.[2][3]
There is a dispute about whether the Amora named Rav Acha barei deRav Yosef is the same person. According toSeder HaDoroth, they were the same person. However, Aaron Hyman, in "Toledot Tannaim veAmoraim," claims this is a mistake.[4]

Hyman writes that Rav Acha barei deRav Yosef was a student ofRav Ashi, a sixth-generation Amora, and would frequently ask him questions.[5][6] Rav Ashi praised him for his brilliance.[7]
Aaron Magid agrees with Seder HaDoroth.[8]
