HD 85512 is a solitary K-type main-sequence star 36.8 light-years (11.3 parsecs) away in the constellation Vela. It is about 1 billion years older than the Sun. It is extremely chromospherically inactive, only slightly more active than Tau Ceti. It exhibits a long-term variability and was thought to host one low-mass planet, although this is now doubtful.
