    HD 20781 d is an extrasolar planet orbiting the K-type main-sequence star HD 20781 117 light years away in the southern constellation Fornax. It was discovered in 2011 during a survey for southern exoplanets conducted with HARPS using doppler spectroscopy, the radial velocity variations caused by the gravitational pull of the planet. Its existence was confirmed in another survey during 2017.

    HD 20781 e is a hot Neptune around the star HD 20781. The planet has a minimum mass of 14.03 Earth masses and it orbits with a semi-major axis of 0.3374 astronomical units and an orbital eccentricity of approximately 0.06. With the same composition as Neptune, it would have a radius of 3.79 times that of the Earth. With the same composition as Earth, it would have a radius of 2.08 times that of the Earth. It orbits near the inner edge of the habitable zone of HD 20781.
