È, è (e-grave) is a letter of the Latin alphabet. In English, è is formed with an addition of a grave accent onto the letter E and is sometimes used in the past tense or past participle forms of verbs in poetic texts to indicate that the final syllable should be pronounced separately. For example, blessèd would indicate the pronunciation , as opposed to for the word blessed. It also occurs in loanwords such as Italian caffè.

De È (onderkast è) is een in het Latijnse alfabet voorkomende letter. De letter wordt gevormd door het karakter E met een daarboven geplaatste accent grave. Het teken komt van oorsprong voor in het Emiliaans, Frans, Hanyu pinyin, Italiaans, Limburgs, Occitaans, Romagnools en het Vietnamees, maar in leenwoorden komt de letter ook voor in het Nederlands. De È wordt meestal uitgesproken als [ɛ]?.
