Ani, or An (Asomtavruli: ; Nuskhuri: ; Mkhedruli: ა; Mtavruli: Ა; Georgian: ანი, ან) is the 1st letter of the three Georgian scripts.

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 1. Ani represents an open central unrounded vowel /ä/, like the pronunciation of ⟨a⟩ in "father". It is typically romanized with the letter A.
