HD 81040 is a star in the equatorial constellation of Leo. With an apparent visual magnitude of +7.73[2] it is too dim to be visible to the naked eye but can be viewed with a small telescope. The star is located at a distance of 112 light years from the Sun based on parallax. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +49 km/s,[3] having come to within 48 light-years some 527,000 years ago.
