Phi1 Hydrae, Latinized from φ1 Hydrae, is a yellow-hued star in the constellation Hydra. Its apparent magnitude is 7.61,[2] making it too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.3 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located about 266 light years from the Sun. It forms a triangle with the brighter φ2 Hydrae and φ3 Hydrae, between μ Hydrae and ν Hydrae.

Phi1 Hydrae is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star, having a Sun-like stellar classification of G2 V and a photospheric temperature only slightly higher than the sun.[3] However, the mass is 34%[7] greater than the Sun, and it is radiating 4.4 times the Sun's luminosity.[6] Phi1 Hydrae is moving further from the Sun with a radial velocity of +15.8 km/s.[4]
