Delta Eridani, which is Latinized from δ Eridani, is a star in the equatorial constellation of Eridanus.

The star is visible to the naked eye and has been observed to vary slightly in brightness between magnitudes 3.51 and 3.56,[2] although subsequent observations did not bear this out.[10] It is relatively near to the Sun, with a distance of about 29.5 light years as determined from parallax.[1] The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −6 km/s.[5]

Delta Eridani is sometimes called Rana:[11] Rana means "the frog" in Latin, but derivation of this name is uncertain. The name was approved by the International Astronomic Union on 4 April 2022.[12]
