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, [9] while the Gaia Data Release 3 parallax of 0.45  mas implies a distance around 7,200  light years . [1] Assuming membership of the Carina OB2 membership would give a distance of about 1,830  parsecs . [10]

V528 Carinae is a red supergiant of spectral type M2 Ib with an effective temperature of 3,660  K . It has a radius of 415 solar radii. In the visible spectrum, its luminosity is 11,900 times higher than the sun, but the bolometric luminosity considering all wavelengths reaches around 30,000 L☉. [8] 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]
