Bani, or Ban (Asomtavruli: Ⴁ; Nuskhuri: ⴁ; Mkhedruli: ბ; Mtavruli Ბ; Georgian: ბანი, ბან) is the 2nd letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 2.[2] Bani commonly represents the voiced bilabial plosive /b/,[3] like the pronunciation of ⟨b⟩ in "boy". It is typically romanized with the letter B.[4]
