Xi1 Capricorni, Latinized from ξ1 Capricorni, is an orange-hued star in the constellation Capricornus. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ξ1 Capricorni, and abbreviated Xi1 Cap or ξ1 Cap. With an apparent visual magnitude of +6.34,[3] it is near the lower limit of brightness for stars that can be seen with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.32 mas as seen from Earth,[2] this system is located approximately 614 light-years (188 pc) 620 light-years distant from the Sun.

It is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III.[4] With an age of 3.35 billion years, this star has an estimated 1.55[6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 139[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of about 4,439 K.[6]
