Phi Octantis, Latinized from φ Octantis, is a solitary star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.46, making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 194 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements, but it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of approximately {{val|5|ul=km/s}}. At its current distance, Phi Octantis' brightness is diminished by 0.26 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.60.

Phi Octantis has a stellar classification of A0 V, indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star that is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at is core. At present it has 2.7 times the mass of the Sun and 1.74 times the radius of the Sun. It radiates at 21.1 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of {{val|9352|ul=K|fmt=commas}}, giving it a white hue when viewed in the night sky. Phi Octantis is a relatively young star with an age of only 7 million years and it spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of {{val|295|ul=km/s}}. It has a metallicity only 60% of the Sun's at [Fe/H] = −0.22.
