Pi Eridani, Latinized from π Eridani, is a star in the constellation Eridanus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.40,[2] which is bright enough to be seen on a dark, clear night. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located roughly 480 light years from the Sun.

This is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of M1 III,[5] and is currently on the asymptotic giant branch.[4] It is a slow irregular variable type LB that can increase in magnitude up to 4.38.[3][11] The measured angular diameter of this star is 4.8±0.5 mas.[12] At the estimated distance of Pi Eridani, this yields a physical size of about 77 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It shines with 1,123[9] times the luminosity of the Sun from an outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 3,841 K.[9]
