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

In Old East Slavic it represents /e/ without palatalization (a palatalized /e/ in Old East Slavic is represented by <Ѥ>) and is interchangeable with <е> as a typographic variant.

The United States Federal Geographic Data Committee uses a similar character to represent the Cambrian Period in geologic history from 542 to 488 million years ago.^[1]

The letter is similar to the symbol for the euro currency, <€>.
