Ye (Є, є) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, used in Ukrainian and Rusyn languages to represent the iotated vowel sound IPA|/je/ and the patalized IPA|/e/ sound.

In Old East Slavic it represents IPA|/e/ without patalization (a patalized IPA|/e/ in Old East Slavic is represented by Ѥ) and is interchangeable with Е as a typographic variant. It is rarely used before a consonant.

The letter should not be confused with the symbol for the euro currency, .
