A '''voiced alveolar tap''' or '''flap''' is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents a dental, alveolar, or postalveolar tap or flap is {{angbr IPA|ɾ}}.
The terms ''tap'' and ''flap'' are often used interchangeably. Peter Ladefoged proposed the distinction that a tap strikes its point of contact directly, as a very brief stop, and a flap strikes the point of contact tangentially: "Flaps are most typically made by retracting the tongue tip behind the alveolar ridge and moving it forward so that it strikes the ridge in passing."<ref>{{Harvcoltxt|Valentin-Marquez|2008}}</ref> That distinction between the alveolar tap and flap could be written in non-standard IPA with the tap as {{angbr IPA|ɾ}} and the flap as {{angbr IPA|ɽ}}, the retroflex letter being used for the one that starts with the tongue tip curled back behind the alveolar ridge,{{cn|date=January 2026}} though it could be written less ambiguously with the Americanist letter {{angbr IPA|ᴅ}} (or IPA {{angbr IPA|d̮}}) for the tap and standard IPA {{angbr IPA|ɾ}} for the flap. The distinction is noticeable in the speech of some American English speakers in distinguishing the words "potty" (tap) and "party" (flap).{{cn|date=January 2026}}
For linguists who do not make the distinction, alveolars and dentals are typically called ''taps'' and other articulations ''flaps''. No language contrasts a tap and a flap at the same place of articulation.
As a phoneme, the sound is analyzed as a rhotic consonant. In languages for which the segment is present but not phonemic, it is often an allophone of either an alveolar stop ({{IPAblink|t}}, {{IPAblink|d}}, or both) or a rhotic consonant.
If an alveolar flap is the only rhotic consonant in the language, it may be transcribed with {{angbr IPA|r}} in broad transcription, despite that symbol technically representing a trill.
A voiced alveolar tapped fricative is reported from some languages, which is a very brief voiced alveolar non-sibilant fricative.

Features of a voiced alveolar tap or flap:
* Its manner of articulation is tap or flap, which means it is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that the tongue makes very brief contact. * Its place of articulation is dental or alveolar, which means it is articulated behind upper front teeth or at the alveolar ridge. It is most often apical, which means that it is pronounced with the tip of the tongue. {{voiced}} {{oral}} {{Median articulation}} {{pulmonic}}
