Sophie of Solms-Laubach (15 May 1594 – 16 May 1651), was a German regent, Margravine of Brandenburg-Ansbach by marriage to Joachim Ernst, and regent during the minority of her son from 1625 until 1639.

Sophie's parents were Count John George I of Solms-Laubach (1547–1600) and Margarethe of Schönburg-Glauchau (1554–1606). She married Margrave Joachim Ernst of Brandenburg-Ansbach in 1612.

She was supported during her reign by Frederick of Solms-Rödelheim.
