Phi Hydrae, Latinized from φ Hydrae, is a yellow-hued star in the constellation Hydra. Its apparent magnitude is 7.61, making it too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.3 mas as seen from Earth, it is located about 266 light years from the Sun. It forms a triangle with the brighter φ Hydrae and φ Hydrae, between μ Hydrae and ν Hydrae.

Phi Hydrae is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star, having a Sun-like stellar classification of G2 V and a photospheric temperature only slightly higher than the sun. However, the mass is 34% greater than the Sun, and it is radiating 4.4 times the Sun's luminosity. Phi Hydrae is moving further from the Sun with a radial velocity of +15.8 km/s.
