R Muscae is a yellow-white hued variable star in the southern constellation of Musca. It has a nominal apparent visual magnitude of 6.31,[5] which is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye. The distance to this star, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 1.00 mas,[2] is around 3,260 light years.

This is an F-type supergiant star with a baseline stellar classification of F7 Ib.[4] It is a Classical Cepheid variable ranging from apparent magnitude 5.93 to 6.73[10] over 7.51 days,[7] while varying between spectral types F7 Ib and G2.[10] The star was suspected of having a detectable companion,[11] but this finding was later disputed.[12] Gaia and HST observations have shown that there is a companion, a 15th-magnitude star 7″ away.[13][14] There is an X-ray source with a luminosity of 6.3×1029 erg s−1 located at an angular separation of 1.9″ from R Muscae.[15]
