CoRoT-20c is a brown dwarf-massed substellar companion found by the HARPS radial-velocity search terrestrial telescope. It orbits CoRoT-20, a G2V star in the constellation of Monoceros. It has an effective temperature of {{convert|5880|K|C F}}, a mass of 1.14 {{Solar mass|link=y}}, a radius of 0.92 {{Solar radius|link=y}}, and an above-solar metallicity. This is a young planet, with an estimated age between 0.06 and 0.14 Gyr.{{cite journal
