En (Н н; italics: Н н) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.

It commonly represents the dental nasal consonant /n/, like the pronunciation of ⟨n⟩ in "neat". And it can be palatized /nʲ/ like in the pair of hard and soft consonnant for the word: жена́ [ʐɨˈna]^ⓘ 'wife' and же́нин [ˈʐenʲɪn]^ⓘ 'wife's'.
