B with stroke (majuscule: Ƀ, minuscule: ƀ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from ⟨B⟩ with the addition of a bar, which can be through either the ascender or the bowl. It is used as a phonetic symbol to represent to transcribe the sound [β].

Ƀ is also a letter of the alphabets of the Rade, Jarai languages and the SIL alphabet of the Katu language of Vietnam, the Panamanian spelling of the Northern Embera language, and is used in standardized texts in Old Saxon for [v] as well as in reconstructed forms of Proto-Germanic.
