Aleut Ka (Ԟ ԟ; italics: Ԟ ԟ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is formed from the Cyrillic letter Ka (К к) by adding a stroke to the upper diagonal arm.

Aleut Ka was used in the alphabet of the Aleut language in the 19th century, where it represented the voiceless uvular plosive /q/ (like the ‘k’ in ‘kite’ but uvular). During the revival of the Aleut Cyrillic alphabet in the 1980s it has been replaced by the Ka with hook.
