79 Ceti (also known as "HD 16141") is a yellow subgiant star approximately 117 light-years away in the constellation Cetus. It has stopped hydrogen fusion in its core, this implies an age much higher than our Sun's 4.5 billion years. Eventually the outer layers of the star will expand and cool and the star will become a red giant. Currently 79 Ceti has a luminosity twice that of the Sun.

As of 2000, an extrasolar planet, designated 79 Ceti b is known to orbit 79 Ceti.
