thumb|"Judeo-Spanish|Judeo-español" in Solitreo and Rashi scripts thumb|Comparison of Solitreo, Rashi script|Rashi and block scripts Solitreo () is a cursive form of the Hebrew alphabet.

The two cursive Hebrew script forms differ from each other in many ways, including in that Solitreo uses far more typographic ligatures than the Modern Hebrew script.

Historically, Solitreo served as the standard handwritten form of Judeo-Spanish in the Balkans and Turkey, that complemented the Rashi script character set used for printing. In Sephardi communities in the Maghreb and the Levant, it was used for Hebrew and Judeo-Arabic manuscripts. While both the Balkan and Maghrebine-Levantine forms are called Solitreo, they are quite distinctive and readers familiar with one type may find the other difficult to read.
