I with macron (Ӣ ӣ; italics: Ӣ ӣ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. In Tajik, it represents a stressed close front unrounded vowel {{IPA|/i/}} at the end of a word. In Kildin Sami on the Kola Peninsula and Mansi in western Siberia, it represents long {{IPA|/iː/}}. Both these sounds are pronounced like the ee in “feet”. In those languages, vowel length is distinctive, and the macron marks the long version of vowels.

I with macron is also used in Aleut (Bering dialect).{{cite book |last=Головко |first=Е. В. |year=1994 |title=Словарь алеутско-русский и русско-алеутский (беринговский диалект) |trans-title=Aleut-Russian and Russian-Aleut Dictionary (Bering dialect) |page=14 |publisher=Отд-ние изд-ва "Просвещение" |isbn=5-09-002312-3}} It is the sixteenth letter of the modern Aleut alphabet. It looks similar to the Short I (Й й Й й) and often written identically in some cursive scripts. It is also used to substitute this letter in some fonts.

I with macron also appears in the Bulgarian and Serbian languages.
