Lj (all uppercase: LJ, all lowercase: lj) is a letter in some Slavic languages. It is a digraph made of the Latin letters L and J. Lj is used for the sound /ʎ/, a sound similar to /lj/ and /lʲ/.

It is the 17th letter of Gaj's Latin alphabet (a Latin version of the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet), coming after L and before M.

In Unicode, Lj is its own character, with three forms:

  • U+01C7 LJ
  • U+01C8 Lj
