Upsilon1 Cancri, Latinised from υ1 Cancri, is the Bayer designation for a solitary,[3] yellow-white-hued star in the constellation Cancer. It is faintly visible with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of +5.7.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.05 mas as seen from Earth,[1] this system is roughly 250 light-years from the Sun.

This object has a stellar classification of F0 IIIn, indicating it is an F-type giant star.[3] The 'n' suffix indicates "nebulous" absorption lines due to rapid rotation, and it shows a relatively high projected rotational velocity of 109.2 km/s.[7] It is a variable star of unknown type that varies in brightness with an amplitude of 0.05 magnitude.[9] The star is about 570[6] million years old and it has an estimated mass of 1.47[6] times that of the Sun. On average, it is radiating 25[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of Template:Val.[6]
