Pi Orionis (π Ori, π Orionis) is a group of fairly widely scattered stars in the constellation Orion that constitute the asterism Orion's Shield or Orion's Bow.astrofoto.org, [http://www.astrofoto.org/book/export/html/92 "Orion: The Hunter"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130610090338/http://www.astrofoto.org/book/export/html/92 |date=2013-06-10 }}, Roland B.

They form an exception to the general rule that stars that share the same Bayer designation are close together: π1 is nearly 9° north of π6 (Tau Eridani is an even more noteworthy example of this).

All of them were member of asterism 參旗 (Shēn Qí), Banner of Three Stars, Net mansion.{{in lang|zh}} [http://aeea.nmns.edu.tw/2006/0607/ap060713.html AEEA (Activities of Exhibition and Education in Astronomy) 天文教育資訊網 (Astronomy Education News) 2006 年 7 月 13 日 (2006-07-13)]
