Epsilon2 Arae (ε2 Arae, ε2 Ara) is the Bayer designation for a double star in the southern constellation of Ara. It is approximately 89 light-years (27 parsecs) distant from Earth. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.3,[2] it is faintly visible to the naked eye.

The brighter star is a magnitude 5.44 F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F5 V Fe+0.5.[4] The Fe+0.5 notation indicates that it has a somewhat higher than normal abundance of iron. It has a magnitude 8.65 companion at an angular separation of 0.590 arcseconds.[3] It has a common proper motion white dwarf companion, WDS J17031-5314, with a magnitude of 13.47.[9]
