NGC 4349 is an open cluster in the constellation Crux.

It is located approximately 7,000 light years away from Earth.

The tidal radius of the cluster is 17.8 - 22.8 parsecs (58 - 75 light years) and represents the average outer limit of NGC 4349, beyond which a star is unlikely to remain gravitationally bound to the cluster core.

[4] One blue straggler has been detected in the cluster.

10.82 and with mass 3.0 M☉) displays periodic radial velocity variations caused by intrinstic stellar variability,[9][10][11] formerly thought to be caused by an orbiting brown dwarf companion.
