Kobjeglava (pronounced as /sl/; it|Còbbia[2]) is a village west of Štanjel in the Municipality of Komen in the Littoral region of Slovenia next to the border with Italy.[3]
Kobjeglava was attested in written sources in 1300 as Cobila glaua and in 1349 as Cublaglauua. The name is derived from reduction of *Kobilja glava 'mare's head', based on a metaphorical motivation.[4]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Michael and belongs to the Koper Diocese.[5]
