Ini, or In (Asomtavruli: ; Nuskhuri: ; Mkhedruli: ი; Mtavruli: Ი: Georgian: ინი, ინ) is the 10th letter of the three Georgian scripts.

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 10. Ini commonly represents the close front unrounded vowel /i/, like the pronunciation of ⟨i⟩ in "machine", or the near-close near-front unrounded vowel /ɪ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨i⟩ in "sin". It is typically romanized with the letter I.

An additional mkhedruli ini letter, ი̄ with a macron is used in Svan language.
