Rav Acha, of the fourth Babylonian generation, is cited some hundred and fifty times across thirty-two tractates, appearing most often beside Ravina and Rav Ashi in the later give-and-take of the Bavli.

Several Babylonian sages bear the plain name רב אחא, and the Bavli does not mark which is meant; the fuller forms — Rav Acha bar Yaakov, Rav Acha son of Rava, Rav Acha of Difti and others — have their own entries. This one is left as a name rather than a life, and marked for review.

Several sages of the name; not separated here.
