Gliese 205 is a nearby red dwarf star of spectral type M1.5, located in the constellation Orion at a distance of 18.6 light-years (5.7 parsecs) from Earth.

[1] A designation of this star, used in "Discovery Name" column of Table 4 of Kirkpatrick et al. (2012), is Strb.

Gliese 205, probably, was observed on January 8, 1823 in zone 140 (see the 9th abtheilung (1824), page 55, 2nd column, 33rd string).

[26] In a 2019 preprint, two candidate planets were detected using the radial velocity method, both Neptune-mass with orbital periods of 17 and 270 days.

[27] However, a study of this star in 2023 found no evidence of planets, and determined a stellar rotation period of 34.4 days.
