The Tajik alphabet (Tajik: Aлифбои тоҷикӣ, الفبای تاجیکی, Alifboji toçikī) has been written in three alphabets over the course of its history, with those being the Perso-Arabic, Latin and nowadays Cyrillic script.

The use of a specific alphabet generally corresponds with stages in history, with Arabic being used first for most of the time, followed by Latin, as a result of the Soviet takeover, for a short period and then Cyrillic, which remains the most widely used alphabet in Tajikistan. The Bukhori dialect spoken by Bukharan Jews traditionally used the Hebrew alphabet, but today is written using the Cyrillic variant.
