74 Orionis is a single [10] star in the equatorial constellation of Orion. It has the Bayer designation k Orionis, while 74 Orionis is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.04. [2] It is located at a distance of 64  light years from the Sun based on parallax, [1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +9 km/s. [5] The star has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.204  arc seconds per annum. [11]

This object is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5V. [3] It is an estimated 2.3 [6]  billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 18.8 km/s. [8] The star has 1.4 [6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.3 [7] times the Sun's radius. Metallicity is near solar, [2] which indicates it has a Sun-like abundance of elements. The star is radiating three [2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,595 K. [6]

74 Orionis has two visual companions: component B, with magnitude 12.5 and separation 32.1", and C, with magnitude 9.0 and separation 195.5". [12]
