28 Aurigae (28 Aur) is a star in the constellation Auriga. Its apparent magnitude is 6.80.[3] It is a giant star which has exhausted its core hydrogen and expanded to ten times the size of the Sun. Despite being slightly cooler than the sun at 5,443 K it is 74 times more luminous. It is located about 626 ly away.

28 Aurigae is one of the few faint Flamsteed stars which is not in the Bright Star Catalogue.[7] It is included in the Hipparcos catalogue and its parallax was calculated to be 4.99±0.57 mas.[8] Its Gaia Data Release 3 parallax is larger and more precise at 5.2120±0.0306[2]
