Pe (majuscule: Պ; minuscule: պ; Armenian: պե) is the twenty-sixth letter of the Armenian alphabet. It has a numerical value of 800.[1] It is created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century. In Eastern Armenian, it represents the voiceless bilabial stop (/p/) while in Western Armenian, it represents the voiced bilabial stop (/b/).

Its minuscule form is similar in shape to the voiced velar approximant (ɰ) and the Cyrillic letter Cche (Ꚇ ꚇ).
