HD 27894 is a 9th magnitude star located approximately 143 light years away in the constellation of Reticulum. It is an orange dwarf (spectral type K2V), a type dimmer and cooler than our Sun.

In 2005, the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search Team announced some of the discoveries of an extrasolar planet orbiting the star.[6] In 2017, the discovery of two additional exoplanets was announced. One is very close to the star like the one discovered earlier, while the other one orbits the star at a much larger distance. It is the first system where such a large gap between orbital distances has been found.[7][8]
