'''HD 114762 b''' is a small [[red dwarf]] star, in the [[HD 114762]] system,<ref name="Kiefer2019"/> formerly thought to be a [[gas giant|massive gaseous]]<ref name="North2003" /><ref name="Latham1989" /> [[exoplanet|extrasolar planet]],<ref name="simbad" /> approximately {{convert|38.6|pc|disp=flip|lk=on}} away in the [[constellation]] of [[Coma Berenices]].<ref name="Butler2006" /><ref name="North2003" /> This optically undetected companion to the [[Late-type star|late]] [[F-type main-sequence star]] HD 114762 was discovered in 1989 by Latham, ''et al''.,<ref name="Latham1989"/> and confirmed in an October 1991 paper by Cochran, ''et al''.<ref name="Cochran1991"/> It was thought to be the first discovered exoplanet (although its existence was confirmed after those around [[PSR B1257+12]].)

The object orbits the primary star every 83.9 days at an approximate distance of 0.37 [[Astronomical unit|AU]],<ref name="Kiefer2019"/> with an [[orbital eccentricity]] of 0.57;<ref name="Kiefer2019"/> for comparison, this orbit is similar to that of [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]] but with almost three times the eccentricity.<ref name="Kiefer2019"/> Based on the radial velocity measurements alone, it was estimated to have a minimum mass of {{Jupiter mass| {{val|11.069|0.063}} |link=y}} (at 90°)<ref name="wang"/> and a probable mass of approximately {{Jupiter mass|63.2|link=y}} (at 10°).<ref name="Kane2012"/> However, analysis of its astrometric perturbation of its host star in 2019 found it to have an extremely low inclination of only {{val|6.23|1.97|1.26}} degrees, giving it a true mass of {{Jupiter mass| {{val|107|20|27}}}} and putting it well outside of the range of planetary masses (less than {{Jupiter mass|13|link=y}}).<ref name="Kiefer2019"/> Further estimates have revised this up to 0.293 [[Solar mass|solar masses]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Winn |first=Joshua N. |date=2022-11-01 |title=Joint Constraints on Exoplanetary Orbits from Gaia DR3 and Doppler Data |journal=The Astronomical Journal |volume=164 |issue=5 |pages=196 |doi=10.3847/1538-3881/ac9126 |doi-access=free |arxiv=2209.05516 |bibcode=2022AJ....164..196W |issn=0004-6256}}</ref>

{{nowrap|HD 114762 b}} was thought for a time to be the first extrasolar planet ever detected, predating the discoveries of planets orbiting [[PSR B1257+12]] and [[main-sequence]] star [[51 Pegasi]], in 1992 and 1995, respectively.<ref name="Hale1995"/><ref name="Marcy1999"/> However, now that it has been found to not be a planet, the planets found orbiting PSR B1257+12 were indeed the first exoplanets ever found.<ref name="Kiefer2019"/>

At an event celebrating the career of discoverer David Latham and attended by his colleagues and collaborators, the object was informally dubbed "Latham's Planet".<ref name="Johnson2016"/> However, this name has no official standing with the [[International Astronomical Union]].
