R.
- For the letter of the alphabet, see R.
R. is an abbreviation of the Latin word Rex (King) or Regina (Queen) and is used as notation in British criminal prosecutions to mean "the Crown" or "the State", which is represented by the current monarch.
It is often seen written as "R. v Defendant" which would be read as "the Crown versus the Defendant".
