HD 64440, also known as a Puppis, is a binary star in the constellation Puppis. At a moderate brightness of 3.71, it is visible to the naked eye.[2] Parallax measurements give a distance of 108 parsecs (350 light-years).[1]

This is a spectroscopic binary of the single-lined type, meaning the spectral lines of only a component can be seen in the spectrum.[7] The primary has a spectral type of K1.5II,[4] which at first would make it a bright giant star, but this classification is unsupported by its relatively small absolute magnitude.[7] The secondary is an early A-type star.[4] They orbit with a period of about 6.13 years and have a high eccentricity of 0.667.[7]
