Beta Apodis (β Aps, β Apodis) is the Bayer designation for a star in the southern circumpolar constellation of Apus.

It is located approximately 149 light-years (46 parsecs) from Earth,[5] as determined by parallax measurements.

[10] At the estimated distance of this star, this yields a physical size of about 11 times the radius of the Sun.

[7] The expanded outer atmosphere of Beta Apodis has an effective temperature of about 4,900 K.[8] This heat is causing it to glow with the characteristic orange hue of a K-type star.

Consequently, β Apodis itself is known as 異雀三 (Yì Què sān, English: the Third Star of Exotic Bird.
