Zeta Horologii, Latinized from ζ Horologii, is a yellow-white-hued binary star system in the southern constellation of Horologium. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.20.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 20.37 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located around 160 light-years from the Sun.

This system was determined to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary by J. H. Moore in 1911−12. The first orbital elements were published by J. Sahade and C. A. Hernández in 1964, who found it consisted of two F-type main-sequence stars of probable stellar classifications F2 V and F5 V. The pair orbit each other with a period of 12.9274 days and an eccentricity of 0.25.[4] The system displays an infrared excess at a wavelength of 24 μm but not at 70 μm, yielding a derived temperature of 260 K. This suggests a circumbinary debris disk orbiting at a distance of less than 4.8 AU from the star system.[9]
