'''Barred o''' ([capital](/source/Capital_letter): '''Ɵ''', [lowercase](/source/Lower_case): '''ɵ''') is a [letter](/source/letter_(alphabet)) in several [Latin-script alphabet](/source/Latin-script_alphabet)s.

Historic examples include the [Azerbaijani alphabet](/source/Azerbaijani_alphabet) used between 1922 and 1933 and its successor, the [Uniform Turkic Alphabet](/source/Uniform_Turkic_Alphabet) (including its versions like [Jaꞑalif](/source/Ya%C3%B1alif) and the [Azerbaijani alphabet](/source/Azerbaijani_alphabet) used between 1933 and 1939), in which it represented the [open-mid front rounded vowel](/source/open-mid_front_rounded_vowel) {{IPA|[œ]}}.

In many alphabets it was replaced by the [Cyrillic](/source/Cyrillic_script) letter [Ө ө](/source/%D3%A8) in 1939. In Azerbaijani, it was again replaced by the Latin letter [Ö ö](/source/%C3%96) in 1991. 

The [Tatar](/source/Tatar_language) Latin alphabet devised in the late 1990s by the [Tatarstan](/source/Tatarstan) authorities included the letter Ɵ ɵ. The letter is also part of the [African reference alphabet](/source/African_reference_alphabet).

In the [International Phonetic Alphabet](/source/International_Phonetic_Alphabet), the lowercase {{IPA|[ɵ]}} (originally a closed e, later reinterpreted as a barred o) represents the [close-mid central rounded vowel](/source/close-mid_central_rounded_vowel).

The letter is not to be confused with the [slashed zero](/source/slashed_zero), slashed O ([Ø ø](/source/%C3%98)), the similar Latin letter [Ꝋ ꝋ](/source/Scribal_abbreviation), the Cyrillic letters [fita](/source/fita) (Ѳ ѳ) and [Oe](/source/Oe_(Cyrillic)) (Ө ө), the Greek [theta](/source/theta) ([Θ θ](/source/%CE%98)), [Tifinagh](/source/Tifinagh) letter ''yab'' (ⴱ), or the [Plimsoll symbol](/source/Plimsoll_symbol) (⦵), despite their similar shapes.
