7 Leonis Minoris (7 LMi) is a star located in the northern constellation Leo Minor. It is also designated as HD 82087 and HR 3764. 7 LMi is faintly visible to the naked eye as a yellow-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.86.[2] Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 462 light-years[1] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 1.7 km/s.[6] At its current distance, 7 LMi's brightness is diminished by 0.12 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[13] and it has an absolute magnitude of −0.03[7]

There have been disagreements on the object's stellar classification. 7 LMi is either a G-type giant star with a class of either G8 or G9 III,[4] or it is a K-type giant with a class of K0 III.[14] It is most likely on the horizontal branch (95% fit),[3] generating energy via helium fusion at its core. It has 2.74 times the mass of the Sun but at the age of 575 million years,[3] it has expanded to 13.41 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It radiates 96 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,923 K.[9] 7 LMi has a near solar metallicity at [Fe/H] = −0.03[10] and it spins very slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 0.24 km/s.[11]

7 LMi has two visual companions. AG +33°954 is a background star located much farther away than 7 LMi[15] and it is a close spectroscopic binary itself.[16]
