HD 143361 is a star in the southern constellation Norma. With an apparent visual magnitude of 9.20,[2] this star is too dim to be seen with the naked eye. It is close enough to the Earth that its distance can be determined using parallax measurements, yielding a value of 224 light-years (69 parsecs).[1]

This is a G-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of G6 V.[3] It has around 95% of the Sun's mass and is around 8.1[7] billion years old.

HD 143361 may be a binary star, a red dwarf star has a similar distance and similar proper motions with the primary. If gravitationally bound to HD 143361, the orbit is very wide, as the angular separation of 33 arcminutes translates to a projected separation of 135,000 AU (2.13 light-years).[8]
