Tn may refer to any of the following:

1. Short for twisted nematic, TN was developed by Schadt and Helfrich in 1971. It is a method of contorting the crystals in an LCD (liquid-crystal display), forcing them to align in a single direction. This process prevents light from scattering, thus allowing LCDs to have better contrast and making them practical.

2. With a domain name, .tn is the domain suffix for Tunisia.
