GJ 3685 is a star in the constellation of Leo. It is extremely faint; its apparent magnitude is 13.3,[2] and can only be seen with a ten-inch (25 cm) telescope (see Limiting magnitude). Based on a parallax of 53.1361 milliarcseconds,[1] the system is located 61.4 light-years (18.8 parsecs) away from the Earth.

This is a part of a binary star system consisting of two components separated by 24″.[8] The primary component, GJ 3685 (also known as GJ 3685 A), is a very old red dwarf that is also a flare star. A 20-minute flare was observed in 2004 by the GALEX satellite.[9] Its companion, GJ 3686, is another faint red dwarf with a spectral type of M5. It is also known as LP 613-50 and is also located roughly the same distance as its primary.[10]
