El with tail ӆ; italics: Ӆ ӆ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter el л) by adding a tail to the right leg.

El with tail is used in the alphabet of the Kildin Sami language, where it is located between Л and М. This letter represents the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative /ɬ/, like the pronunciation of ll in the Welsh language.

In the Khanty language, it is sometimes used as a substitute for Ԯ, while in the Itelmen language, it is sometimes used as a substitute for Ԓ, in both cases also to represent /ɬ/.
