Iota Apodis (ι Aps, ι Apodis) is the Bayer designation for a binary star[3] system in the southern circumpolar constellation of Apus.

It is a faint target at an apparent visual magnitude of 5.41,[2] but still visible to the naked eye from suitably dark skies.

The distance to this star can be roughly gauged from parallax measurements, yielding an estimate of 1,300 light-years (400 parsecs) with a 20% margin of error.

The pair have an angular separation of 0.091 arcseconds[3] with an estimated orbital period of 59.32 years.

Consequently, ι Apodis itself is known as 異雀二 (Yì Què èr, English: the Second Star of Exotic Bird.
