Eng or engma (majuscule: Ŋ, minuscule: ŋ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, usually used to represent a velar nasal (as in English singing).

Lowercase eng is derived from n with the addition of a hook to the right leg, like that of opentail g (File:Opentail g.PNG). The uppercase has two variants: it can be based on the usual uppercase N, with a hook added; or it can be an enlarged version of the lowercase. The former is preferred in Sami languages that use it, the latter in African languages.

Early printers, lacking a specific glyph for eng, sometimes approximated it by rotating a capital G, or by substituting a Greek eta (η) for it.
