The grapheme Ď (minuscule: ď) is a letter in the Czech and Slovak alphabets. It is formed from Latin D with the addition of háček and is placed right after regular D in the alphabet. It is used to denote /ɟ/, the voiced palatal plosive. It was also used in Polabian.

Ď is also used to represent uppercase ð in the Coat of Arms of Shetland; however, the typical form is Ð.
