V602 Carinae (V602 Car, HD 97671) is a red supergiant and variable star of spectral type of M3 in the constellation Carina. It is one of largest known stars.

V602 Car was calculated to have a bolometric luminosity below 110,000 L☉ and a radius around 860 D☉ based on the assumption of an effective temperature of 3,550 K.[7] A more recent study derive a slightly highter bolometric luminosity of 140,000 L☉ based on the measured flux and an assumed distance, and a larger radius of 1,050 ± 165 D☉ based on the measured angular diameter and luminosity. The effective temperature was then calculated from the luminosity and radius.[6]

V602 Car has an estimated mass loss rate of 1.9×10−6 M☉ per year.[2] An excess of emission at long wavelengths from this star, as well as a small amount of silicate emission, suggests that it may be enclosed by an extensive cloud of dust.[9]

V602 Car is a semiregular variable star with a maximum brightness range of magnitude 7.6 - 9.1[10] and a period of 635[10] or 672[3] days. Despite the large amplitude of variation, it was only named as a variable star in 2006.[3][10]
