θ Trianguli Australis, Latinized as Theta Trianguli Australis, is a single[10] star in the southern constellation of Triangulum Australe. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.50.[2] The star is located about 334 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +10 km/s.[4]

This is an evolved G/K-type giant star with a stellar classification of G8-K0 III.[3] The interferometry-measured angular diameter of the primary component is 0.99±0.01 mas,[11] which, at its estimated distance, equates to a physical radius of about 11 times the radius of the Sun.[6] The star is radiating 79[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,039 K.[8]
