CE Antliae (also called TWA 7) is a young low-mass star in the constellation of Antlia. It is surrounded by a debris disk and has one directly imaged planet candidate.

TWA 7 was discovered in 1999 with a spectral type of M1 and as a member of the TW Hydrae association. The detection of molecular hydrogen is interpreted as a weak sign of accretion of gas near the star. A giant x-ray flare was detected on 2010-09-07 with MAXI/GSC on the ISS.
