Ye (Е, е; italics: Е, е) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet. In some languages this letter is called E.

It commonly represents the vowel /e/ or /ɛ/, similar to the English pronunciation of ‹e› in "yes". (See Usage below for more detail.)

It was derived from the Greek letter Epsilon (Ε, ε).

In all its forms it looks exactly like the Latin letter E.
