Upsilon Librae (υ Lib / υ Librae) is a Class K3, fourth-magnitude star in the constellation Libra. It is, on rare occasions, called Derakrab Borealis, meaning "Northern One of the Scorpion's Arm"; the base name "Derakrab" being a contraction of the Arabic title "Al-Dhira al-Akrab" (الذراع العقرب), meaning "Arm of the Scorpion" + Latin "borealis" for "northern".

Upsilon Librae is a double or multiple stellar system located about 195 light-years from Earth.
