HD 21693 is a star in the constellation Reticulum. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.94,[2] therefore it is not visible to the naked eye. From its parallax measured by the Gaia spacecraft, it is located at a distance of 108.6 light-years (33.3 parsecs) from Earth.[1]

This is a G-type star with a spectral type of G9IV-V, with features intermediate between main sequence and subgiant. In 2011, the discovery of two Neptune-mass exoplanets around HD 21693 was announced.
