HD 57682 is a rare magnetic massive O-type main-sequence star star located in the constellation of Monoceros. It is one of only a small number of confirmed magnetic O-type stars and is notable for its strong dipolar magnetic field, which confines its stellar wind and produces observable spectroscopic variability.
