32 Leonis Minoris (32 LMi), also known as HD 90840, is a solitary star located in the northern constellation Leo Minor. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a white-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.78. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 729 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of {{val|2|ul=km/s}}, which is somewhat constrained. At its current distance, 32 LMi's brightness is diminished by 0.14 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction and it has an absolute magnitude of −1.02.
The object has been given several stellar classifications over the years, ranging from main sequence (V) to giant star (III) and A1 to A4. Two of the classifications are A4 V and A4 III. It has 2.01 times the mass of the Sun but at the age of 465 million years, 32 LMi is now on the subgiant branch{{fv|date=June 2023}} and it has expanded to 6.58 times the radius of the Sun. It radiates 241 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of {{val|8511|ul=K|fmt=commas}}. 32 LMi is metal deficient with an iron abundance only 15.9% that of Sun ([Fe/H] = −0.80) and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of {{val|70|ul=km/s}}.
