Gliese 673 is an orange dwarf star in the constellation Ophiuchus. It has a stellar classification of K7V.[2] Main sequence stars with this spectra have a mass in the range of 60-70% of solar mass (M☉) (comparable to the members of the binary star system 61 Cygni).

This star is relatively near our Sun at a distance of about 25 light years. In spite of this proximity, however, it is still too faint to be viewed by the unaided eye. It is considered a slowly rotating star with a relatively high proper motion.
