Delta Horologii (δ Horologii) is a binary star[3] system in the constellation Horologium. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.93.[2] As of 2014, the pair had an angular separation of 0.20 arc seconds along a position angle of 24°.[9] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 18.24 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located 179 ± 4 light years from the Sun.

The primary, component A, is a magnitude 5.15 A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A9 V.[3] At the estimated age of 768 million years,[6] it is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 220 km/s,[5] giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 15% larger than the polar radius.[10] The star has 1.4[6] times the mass of the Sun.

The secondary has an apparent magnitude of 7.29.[3]
