39 Draconis, also known as b Draconis, is a wide binary star in the constellation Draco. Its apparent magnitude is 5.034. Parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft put it at a distance of 184 light-years, or 56 parsecs away.
The two components of 39 Draconis are separated by 6.621″ and take almost 4,000 years to orbit each other. The primary star is an early A-type main-sequence star, 2.12 times the mass of the Sun. The secondary star is an F-type main-sequence star, and is 1.18 times the mass of the Sun.
