The Bayer designation ρ Cancri (Rho Cancri) is shared by two stars in the constellation Cancer:
- 55 Cancri, or Rho<sup>1</sup> Cancri (ρ<sup>1</sup> Cnc)
- 58 Cancri, or Rho<sup>2</sup> Cancri (ρ<sup>2</sup> Cnc)
In Johann Bode’s Uranographia, the designation Rho Cancri is applied to five different stars:
- ρ<sup>1</sup> Cancri is 53 Cancri
- ρ<sup>2</sup> Cancri is 55 Cancri
- ρ<sup>3</sup> Cancri is 58 Cancri
- ρ<sup>4</sup> Cancri is 67 Cancri
- ρ<sup>5</sup> Cancri is 70 Cancri
Bode’s superscripted letters are now rarely used though, so the designations have been reverted to the original 2 stars.
