Mu Horologii (μ Horologii) is a solitary,[9] yellow-white hued star in the southern constellation of Horologium. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.11.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.04 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located about 141.6 light years from the Sun.

This is an evolving F-type star with a stellar classification of F0 III/IV,[3] showing mixed traits of a subgiant and a giant star. It is around two billion years old with a projected rotational velocity of 79.2 km/s.[5] The star has 1.5[6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 13[7] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,898 K.[6]
