R Apodis (R Aps) is a star in the constellation Apus.

R Apodis is an orange K-type giant with an apparent magnitude of +5.34. It is approximately 386 light years from Earth. It was earlier suspected to be a variable star and given the variable star designation R Apodis. Now it is confirmed as a non-variable.[8]

R Apodis has exhausted its core hydrogen fuel and left the main sequence. It has a mass 10% higher than the Sun's, and it has cooled to 4,318 K and expanded to 23 times the radius of the Sun. Despite being cooler than the sun, its large size means it emits 229 times more electromagnetic radiation.
