Cyrillic epsilon (Ԑ ԑ; italics: Ԑ ԑ, also called reversed ze) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is a reversed Cyrillic letter Ze (З з З з). It resembles the Latin letter epsilon (Ɛ ɛ) and the Greek letter Epsilon (Ε ε), as well as a hand-written form of the uppercase Latin E and Cyrillic letter Ye. Reversed Ze was added to the Unicode 5.0 Standard, but is still uncommon in most Cyrillic fonts.

Cyrillic epsilon is used in Enets, where it represents /ɛ~æ/ (like the e in bet or the a in ant). It has also been used in the Khanty language as a variant of Ukrainian Ye (Є є).
