Ǧ⟩ (miniscule: ⟨ǧ⟩), called "G with caron", is a letter used in several Latin orthographies.

In the Romany and Skolt Sami languages, it represents the palatalized g .

It has also been used in Czech and Slovak orthographies until the middle of the 19th century to represent a voiced velar plosive (IPA: [g]; the English G-sound), whereas a regular ⟨G⟩ stood for a voiced palatal approximant (IPA: [j]; the English Y-sound in).

In the romanization of Pashto, Persian, and South Azeri, ⟨ǧ⟩ is used to represent a voiced velar fricative (IPA: [ɣ]; same as the Arabic letter Ghayn ⟨غ⟩).

In the Berber Latin and Resian alphabets, ⟨ǧ⟩ is pronounced as a voiced postalveolar affricate (IPA: [d͡ʒ]; an English J-sound).

In Lakota, ⟨ǧ⟩ represents a voiced uvular fricative (IPA: [ʁ]; an English R-sound)

In the DIN 31635 Arabic transliteration, it represents the letter Ǧīm ⟨ﺝ⟩.
