V1647 Orionis (V1647 Ori) is a young stellar object visible in the constellation Orion, located about 1470 light-years from the Solar System. It is situated in the reflection nebula M78 and is associated with McNeil's Nebula.

The object is known to have experienced intense eruptive phenomena on several occasions (the last of which occurred in 2008), the characteristics of which have led to the object being considered a middle ground between two classes of pre-main-sequence star, FU Orionis (FUor) and EX Lupi (EXor).
