Yi (Ї ї; italics: Ї ї) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.

It represents the iotated vowel sound /ji/, like the pronunciation of ⟨yi⟩ in Yiddish", and is used in the Ukrainian and Rusyn alphabets.

In various romanization systems, ї is represented by Latin ï, ji, yi or i, the most common being yi.

The letter was introduced as part of the Zhelekhivka orthography, in Yevhen Zhelekhivsky's Ukrainian–German dictionary (2 volumes, 1885–6).
