Zeta Crucis, Latinized from ζ Crucis, is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Crux. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 4.06m. ζ Crucis is located at about 360 light-years from the Sun. It is a member of the Lower Centaurus–Crux subgroup of the Scorpius–Centaurus association.[10]

This is a double-lined spectroscopic binary star system.[11] The spectrum matches a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B2.5 V. There is a faint visual companion with an apparent magnitude of 12.49.[12]
