LHS 2090 is a red dwarf star of spectral type M6.5V, located in constellation Cancer at 20.74 light-years from Earth.[2]

The star was identified to be a nearby red dwarf (6 parsecs from Sun) in 2001,[10] and its parallax was first measured in 2006.[11] As typical for very cool red dwarfs, its spectrum is dominated by molecular water absorption. The stellar metallicity is similar to that of the Sun.[8]

Radial velocity measurements did not yield any detection of a stellar companion or giant planet in orbit around LHS 2090, as of 2018.[3]
