Ṛ (minuscule: ṛ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from R with the addition of a dot below the letter. It is used in the transliteration of Afro-Asiatic languages to represent an "emphatic r".

In the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration used for Sanskrit and related languages, ṛ represents a syllabic r. In transliterations of modern Indo-Aryan languages using ISO 15919 or similar schemes, ṛ represents a retroflex flap /ɽ/.

Superscript Ṛ was widely used in 19th and early 20th century English in abbreviations of month and personal names, such as in NOVṚ, DECṚ, and ALEXṚ (Alexander). Particularly common on gravestones.
