HD 118889 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.57. The system is located at a distance of approximately 196 light years from the Sun based on stellar parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −26 km/s.

The binary components of this system were first measured by S. W. Burnham in 1878 and it was given the discovery code BU 612. The pair are orbiting each other with a period of 22.46 years with an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.545. The primary component is magnitude 6.35, with the secondary slightly fainter at magnitude 6.47.

A third star, {{val|3.5|ul="}} away, is a 12th-magnitude common-proper-motion companion. Any orbit would take over a thousand years.
