π2 Gruis, Latinised as Pi2 Gruis, is a binary star[3] in the southern constellation of Grus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.622.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 25.00 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] the system is located 130 light years from the Sun.

The primary, component A, is an F-type star of uncertain luminosity class. Malaroda (1975) gave it a stellar classification of F3 III-IV,[4] which would indicate an evolving subgiant/giant star hybrid spectrum, whereas Houk (1978) listed it as class F0 V,[5] suggesting that it is an F-type main sequence star. The companion is a magnitude 11.3 star at an angular separation of 4.6 arc seconds.[3]
