El with middle hook (Ԡ ԡ; italics: Ԡ ԡ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter El (Л л) by adding a hook to the middle of the right leg.

El with middle hook was only used in the Abkhaz{{citation needed |date=May 2011}} and Chuvash languages.[http://unicode.org/L2/L2007/07003-n3194-cyrillic.pdf Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set. International Organization for Standardization] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230427005330/https://unicode.org/L2/L2007/07003-n3194-cyrillic.pdf|date=2023-04-27}}

In Chuvash it was used for the palatalized alveolar lateral approximant {{IPA|/lʲ/}}, and corresponds in other Chuvash orthographies to el with grave (Л̀ л̀).
