λ Librae (Latinised as Lambda Librae) is the Bayer designation for a binary star system in the zodiac constellation of Libra. It can be faintly seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.03.^[3] With an annual parallax shift of 10.54 mas,^[2] it is roughly 310 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of this system is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.22 due to interstellar dust.^[7] It is 0.1 degree north of the ecliptic.

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 14.48 days and an eccentricity of 0.27.^[8] The visible component is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B3 V.^[4] It is a helium-weak chemically peculiar star^[13] and a rotating ellipsoidal variable.^[5] The star has an estimated 3.9^[10] times the radius of the Sun and five times the Sun's mass.^[9] This is a candidate Vega-like star, meaning that it shows an infrared excess characteristic of a circumstellar debris disk.^[14] The system is a source of X-ray emission.^[15]
