The Bayer designation ξ Lupi (Xi Lupi) is shared by two star systems in the constellation Lupus:

Listed in the Washington Double Star Catalog as WDS J15569-3358, this double star most likely forms a wide binary star system. [1] As of epoch 2004.38, the pair had an angular separation of 10.254±0.016 arc seconds along a position angle of 49.21°±0.02°. The difference in visual magnitude between the two stars is 0.515±0.003. [2]
