HD 114783 is a star with two exoplanetary companions in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.56<ref name=Anderson_Francis_2012/> it is too faint to be visible with the unaided eye, but is an easy target for binoculars. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of Template:Convert from the Sun, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −12 km/s.<ref name="GaiaDR3"/>
This is an orange-hued K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K1V.<ref name=Houk1999/> It is roughly 2.5<ref name=Soto_Jenkins2018/> billion years old and is chromospherically inactive<ref name="Vogt2002"/> with a low projected rotational velocity of 1.9 km/s.<ref name=Soto_Jenkins2018/> The star has 88% of the mass and 81% of the radius of the Sun.<ref name=Soto_Jenkins2018/> It is radiating 42%<ref name="GaiaDR2"/> of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,114 K.<ref name=Soto_Jenkins2018/>
In 2001, the California and Carnegie Planet Search team found an exoplanet, HD 114783 b, orbiting the star using the radial velocity method. The discovery was made with the Keck Telescope.<ref name="Vogt2002"/> A second companion, HD 114783 c, was discovered in 2016,<ref name=Bryan_et_al_2016/> and in 2023 its inclination and true mass were measured via astrometry.<ref name="Philipot2023"/>
