El with tail (Ӆ ӆ; italics: Ӆ ӆ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter el (Л л) by adding a tail to the right leg.
El with tail is used in the alphabet of the Kildin Sami language, where it is located between {{angbr|Л}} and {{angbr|М}}. This letter represents the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative {{IPA|/ɬ/}}, like the pronunciation of {{angbr|ll}} in the Welsh language.
In the Khanty language, it is sometimes used as a substitute for Ԯ, while in the Itelmen language, it is sometimes used as a substitute for Ԓ, in both cases also to represent {{IPA|/ɬ/}}.
