HD 114783 is a star with two exoplanetary companions in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.56 [1] it is too faint to be visible with the unaided eye, but is an easy target for binoculars. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 68.6 light-years (21.0 parsecs ) from the Sun, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −12 km/s. [2]

This is an orange-hued K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K1V. [3] It is roughly 2.5 [5]  billion years old and is chromospherically inactive [4] with a low projected rotational velocity of 1.9 km/s. [5] The star has 88% of the mass and 81% of the radius of the Sun. [5] It is radiating 42% [6] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,114 K. [5]

In 2001, the California and Carnegie Planet Search team found an exoplanet, HD 114783 b, orbiting the star using the radial velocity method. The discovery was made with the Keck Telescope. [4] A second companion, HD 114783 c, was discovered in 2016, [7] and in 2023 its inclination and true mass were measured by the first time, via astrometry. [8] The masses and orbits were revised in 2025. [9]
