R Corvi (R Crv) is a Mira variable star in the constellation Corvus, which ranges from a magnitude of 6.7 to 14.4 with a period of approximately 317 days.[3] In the sky it appears close to Gamma Corvi and can be seen in the same binocular field.[4] Extrapolating its luminosity from its period of 317 days yields a distance of 810 parsecs.[5]
