GJ 3323, also known as LHS 1723, is a nearby star. It is located in the equatorial constellation Eridanus, about 0.4° to the northwest of the naked eye star Psi Eridani. It is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude 12.20. Parallax measurements give a distance of 17.5 light-years (5.4 parsecs). It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +42.3 km/s. Roughly 104,000 years ago, the star is believed to have come to within 7.34 ± 0.16 light-years of the Solar System.
The stellar classification of GJ 3323 is M4.0Ve, indicating that it is a red dwarf, with emission lines appearing in its spectrum. It is fully convective and a source of X-ray emission. The star has 17% of the Sun's mass, 19% of the radius of the Sun, and just 0.4% of the Sun's luminosity.
