HD 45350 b is an extrasolar planet located approximately 160 light-years away in the constellation of Auriga.
The mean distance of the planet from the star is more than the distance between Mars and the Sun, but due to the planet's high orbital eccentricity, it is as close to the star as Mercury is from the Sun at periastron, while at apastron, it is eight times further.
