Iota Eridani (ι Eri) is a solitary star in the constellation Eridanus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 4.11.[2] With an annual parallax shift of 0.02165 arcseconds,[1] it lies at an estimated distance of about 151 light years.

This is an evolved red clump[5] giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III.[3] The measured angular diameter, after correcting for limb darkening, is 2.18±0.02 mas.[9] At an estimated distance of the star, this yields a physical size of around 11 times the radius of the Sun.[6] It has 1.42 times the mass of the Sun and radiates 57.5 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,683 K.[2] It is around four billion years old.[2]
