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 giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III.[4] The measured angular diameter, after correcting for limb darkening, is 2.248±0.014 mas. This star is 3.55 billion years old, sufficient to have exhausted the hydrogen at its core and reached a red clump stage. It is only around 29% more massive than the Sun, but is eleven times larger. It radiates 54.7 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,700 K.[6]
