Ḏāl (ﺫ) is one of the six letters the Arabic alphabet added to the twenty-two inherited from the Phoenician alphabet (the others being ṯāʼ, ḫāʼ, ḍād, ẓāʼ, ġayn). It represents the voiced dental fricative (IPA [ð]). In name and shape, it is a variant of dāl.

The South Arabian alphabet retained a symbol for ḏ, .
