The letter P is the sixteenth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is pee /piː/. The uppercase is visually similar to the uppercase of the Greek letter rho (Ρ) and Cyrillic letter er (Р).

Semitic Pê (mouth) as well as Greek Π or π (Pi) and the Etruscan and Latin letters that developed from the former alphabet all symbolized /p/, a voiceless bilabial plosive. Those who speak Arabic usually have difficulty pronouncing this sound; they pronounce it like /b/ instead.

In English and most other European languages, P is a voiceless bilabial plosive (/p/ in the IPA). A common digraph in English is "ph", which represents the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/, and is commonly used to transliterate Phi ( φ ) in loanwords from Greek. Both initial and final P can be combined with many other discrete consonants in English words. A common example of assimilation is the tendency of prefixes ending in N to become M before P (such as "in" + "pulse" → "impulse" — see also List of Latin words with English derivatives).

In German, the digraph "pf" is common, representing a labial affricate of /pf/.
