λ1 Phoenicis, Latinized as Lambda1 Phoenicis, is a double star in the southern constellation of Phoenix. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.76. The system is located approximately 183 light years away from the Sun based on parallax. It is a member of the Hyades Supercluster.

The brighter component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0Va. It may form a binary system of two roughly equal stars. An infrared excess suggests there is a debris disk orbiting 46.3 AU from the star with a mean temperature of 95 K. It has one visual companion at an angular separation of about 30 and magnitude 13.7.
