Nu (/ˈnjuː/; uppercase Ν, lowercase ν; Greek: vι ni [ni]) is the thirteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, representing the voiced alveolar nasal IPA: [n]. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 50. It is derived from the Phoenician nun . Its Latin equivalent is N, though the lowercase (${\displaystyle \nu }$) resembles the Roman lowercase v.

The name of the letter is written νῦ in Ancient Greek and traditional Modern Greek polytonic orthography, while in Modern Greek it is written νι [ni].

Letters that arose from nu include Roman N and Cyrillic script En.
