Kje (Ќ ќ or Ḱ ḱ; italics: Ќ ќ or Ḱ ḱ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script, used only in the Macedonian alphabet, where it represents the voiceless palatal plosive /c/, or the voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate /tɕ/. Kje is the 24th letter in this alphabet. It is romanised as ⟨ḱ⟩ or sometimes ⟨ķ⟩ or ⟨kj⟩.

Words with this sound are most often cognates to those in Serbo-Croatian with ћ/ć and in Bulgarian with щ, т or к. For example, Macedonian ноќ (noḱ, night) corresponds to Serbo-Croatian ноћ/noć, and Bulgarian нощ (nosht). The common surname ending -ić is spelled -иќ in Macedonian.
