BL Crucis is a red giant and a semiregular variable in the constellation of Crux.[3] A 5th magnitude star, it is visible to the naked eye under good observing conditions. Three periods have been detected in its light curve, 30.7, 42.3 and 43.6 days.[1] It is 480 ± 10 light-years distant from Earth.[2]

In 1969, Olin J. Eggen announced that the star, then called HR 4739, is a variable star.[4] It was given its variable star designation, BL Crucis, in 1977.[5]
