Dzze (Ꚉ ꚉ; italics: Ꚉ ꚉ) is a letter of the old Abkhaz, Ossetic and Komi alphabets. It represents the voiced alveolo-palatal affricate (d͡ʑ).

In Ossetian, it was later replaced with digraph Dz (currently Дз).

It is used to distinguish the affricate {{IPA|/d͜z/}} from the sequence d-z in some phonetic dictionaries.e.g. Орфоєпичний словник (Орфоэпический словарь на украиском языке), 1984. Н.И. Погребной, ed. Радяська Школа, Kiev.
