V528 Carinae (V528 Car, HD 95950, HIP 54021) is a variable star in the constellation Carina.

V528 Carinae has an apparent visual magnitude that varies between about 6.3 and 6.8. It is a distant star but the exact distance is uncertain. The Hipparcos satellite gives a negative annual parallax and is not helpful, [8] while the Gaia Data Release 3 parallax of 0.45  mas implies a distance of around 7,200  light years (2,200 parsecs). [1] Assuming membership of the Carina OB2 membership would give a distance of about 1,830  parsecs . [9]

V528 Carinae is a red supergiant of spectral type M2 Ib with an effective temperature of 3,700  K . It has a radius of 700 solar radii. [5] In the visible spectrum, its luminosity is 11,900 times higher than the Sun, [11] but the bolometric luminosity considering all wavelengths reaches around 81,000 L [5] . It loses mass at 0.5×10−9 M per year. [12]

It is classified as a slow irregular variable whose prototype is TZ Cassiopeiae. [6]
