Nova Cen 2013 or V1369 Cen (PNV J13544700-5909080) was a bright nova in the constellation Centaurus. It was discovered on December 2, 2013 by amateur astronomer John Seach in Australia with coordinates RA 13^h 54^m 45.34^s and Dec −59° 09′ 04.2″ and unfiltered magnitude 5.5.^[3]^[4] On December 14, 2013 it peaked at about magnitude 3.3^[5] being the brightest nova of this millennium.

Nova Centauri 2013 was observed emitting gamma-rays between 7–10 December 2013 by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.^[6] The nova continued to brighten in gamma-rays and the peak coincided with the second optical maximum on 11 December 2013.^[7]

The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission detected X-ray emission from Nova Centauri 2013 on 18 and 25 February 2014 and 8 March 2014.^[8]
