HD 41742 and HD 41700 is a star system that lies approximately 88 light-years away in the constellation of Puppis. The system consists of two bright stars where the primary is orbited by two fainter stars, making it a quadruple with an unequal hierarchy.

The fainter star HD 41700 was designated Rho Columbae (ρ Col) by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille before Francis Baily included it in Puppis and leaving it undesignated.
