36 Cancri is a star located in the southern part of the zodiac constellation Cancer, approximately 501 light years away from the Sun. It is also known by its Bayer designation c Cancri and its Flamsteed designation 36 Cancri. This star is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued object with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.92. It is moving away from Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +16 km/s.

This is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 V, which indicates it is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It has a projected rotational velocity of 44 km/s, with 2.66 times the mass of the Sun and double the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 93 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,472 K.
