El with hook (Ԓ ԓ; italics: Ԓ ԓ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter El л) by adding a hook to the bottom of the right leg.

El with hook was first used in a Chukchi language primer that was published in 1996 (Ԓыгъоравэтԓьэн йиԓыйиԓ), replacing the Cyrillic letter Л to reduce confusion with the different pronunciation of the Russian letter of the same form. It is also used in the Itelmen and Khanty languages.

This letter represents the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative /ɬ/, like the pronunciation of ll in the Welsh language.
