Upsilon Librae (υ Lib, υ Librae) is the Bayer designation for a double star^[9] in the zodiac constellation Libra. With an apparent visual magnitude of 3.628,^[2] it is visible to the naked eye. The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.58,^[1] is around 224 light years. It has a magnitude 10.8 companion at an angular separation of 2.0 arc seconds along a position angle of 151°, as of 2002.^[10]

The brighter component is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K3 III.^[3] The measured angular diameter, after correction for limb darkening, is 4.27±0.05 mas.^[11] At the estimated distance of the star, this yields a physical size of about 31.5 times the radius of the Sun.^[7] It has 1.67 times the mass of the Sun and radiates 309 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,135 K.^[6] The star is about three billion years old.^[6]

Upsilon Librae will be the brightest star in the night sky in about 2.3 million years,^[12] and will peak in brightness with an apparent magnitude of −0.46, or more than 40 times its present-day brightness.^[12]
