Rav Pappi, of the fifth Babylonian generation, was a student of Rava and belongs to the circle that carried his teacher's rulings into the last generations of the Bavli. He is regularly named beside Rav Papa and Rav Ashi.

He is cited some eighty times across twenty-three tractates, heaviest in Ketubot and Chullin. His contributions are typically reports of what Rava held and applications of it to new cases, which is the characteristic work of the students of that generation.
