O or Oh (majuscule: Օ, minuscule: օ, Armenian: օ) is the 38th letter of the reformed Armenian alphabet and the 37th letter of the classical Armenian alphabet. This letter was first noticed in a text from the year 1046 at the work փափագանօք (p'ap'aganok').

Unlike many Armenian letters, O has no numeric value.

It represents the /o/ sound in both Eastern and Western Armenian.
