Ghe with upturn (Ґ ґ; italics: Ґ ґ ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is used in Ukrainian, Rusyn and also in some variants of Urum and Belarusian (i.e. Taraškievica) alphabets. In these alphabets it's usually called "Ge", while the other letter — ‹Г г› (which in its turn is also called "Ge" in Russian and some other languages) — is called "He". In Unicode this letter is called "Ghe with upturn".

The letterform of this letter is based on the letterform of the letter ‹Г г›, but its handwritten and italic lowercase forms do not follow the italic modification of ‹Г г› (i.e. г).

It represents the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/, like the pronunciation of ‹g› in "go".

Ghe with upturn is romanized using the Latin letter G (but with an additional grave accent in ISO 9).

The common Slavic voiced velar plosive [ɡ] is represented in most Cyrillic orthographies by ‹Г›, called ге ghe in most languages. In Ukrainian, however, around the early 13th century, the sound lenited to the voiced velar fricative [ɣ] (except in the cluster *zg), and around the 16th century, debuccalized to the voiced glottal fricative [ɦ] (like the pronunciation of ‹h› in behind). The phoneme continued to be represented by ‹Г›, called ге he in Ukrainian.
