Da, Ta, or T’a (majuscule: Դ; minuscule: դ; Armenian: դա) is the fourth letter of the Armenian alphabet, representing the voiced alveolar plosive (/d/) in Eastern Armenian and the aspirated voiceless alveolar plosive (/tʰ/) in Western Armenian. It is typically romanized with the letter D. It was part of the alphabet created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century CE. In the Armenian numeral system, it has a value of 4.

The capital form of this letter, crossed with two horizontal lines, forms the Armenian dram sign.
