V399 Carinae (V399 Car, P Carinae, P Car, 195 G. Carinae) is a variable star in the constellation Carina.

The spectral type of V399 Carinae has been variously assigned between A5 and F0,[13] being a bright, luminous supergiant.[14] Its spectrum is described as having a non-photospheric continuum and silicon absorption lines, indicative of high mass loss.[15]

V399 Carinae has long been suspected to be variable.[16] A 1981 study of yellow supergiants fit observations to a Cepheid-like light curve with a period of 58.8 days, although the luminosity and spectral type do not place the star near the Cepheid instability strip.[13] It was listed in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars as a possible δ Cep variable.[17] Further observations refined the period to 47.25 days.[7] The Hipparcos catalogue classified V399 Car as a semiregular variable with a period of 88 days and a mean amplitude of only 0.04 magnitudes.[18] An automated classification from Hipparos photometry suggested it is an α Cygni variable.[19] The observed brightness varies from magnitude +4.63 to +4.72.[2]

V399 lies amongst the stars of the open cluster IC 2581, by far the brightest member of the cluster. It is about 7,500 light years from Earth assuming it is a member of IC 2581, which is given a 62.9% probability.[20]
