T Chamaeleontis (T Cha), also known as HIP 58285, is a T Tauri star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon.

Gaia DR3 parallax measurements place the object 335 light years away[2] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 13.8 km/s.

[9] At its current distance, T Cha's average brightness is diminished by 0.31 magnitudes due to extinction from interstellar dust.

[3][8] T Cha has a stellar classification of K0e,[5] indicating that it is a K-type star with emission lines in its spectrum.

[22][12] It radiates 29% the luminosity of the Sun[13] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,111 K,[14] giving it an orange hue.
