2MASS J11145133−2618235 (designation abbreviated to 2MASS 1114−2618), [3] or 2M1114−26,[2] or 2M1114−2618,[2] or 2MASS 1114−26,[4] or 2MASS J1114−2618[6]) is a nearby brown dwarf of spectral class T7.5, located in constellation Hydra[a] at approximately 18 light-years from Earth.

[7] 2MASS 1114−2618 was discovered in 2005 by C. G. Tinney et al. from the 2MASS Wide-Field T Dwarf Search (WFTS), based on observations obtained at the Anglo-Australian Telescope, Siding Spring, Australia.

In 2005 Tinney et al. published a paper in The Astronomical Journal, where they presented discovery of five new brown dwarfs of spectral type T, among which also was 2MASS 1114−2618.

[7] The photometric distance estimate of 2MASS 1114−2618, published in its discovery paper in 2005, is 7 pc (22.8 ly).

[2] Spectrophotometric distance estimate by Kirkpatrick et al. (2012), is 6.6 pc (21.5 ly).
