V528 Carinae (V528 Car, HD 95950, HIP 54021) is a variable star in the constellation Carina.

V528 Carinae has an apparent visual magnitude that varies between about 6.3 and 6.8. It is a distant star but the exact distance is uncertain. The Hipparcos satellite gives a negative annual parallax and is not helpful,[8] while the Gaia Data Release 3 parallax of 0.45 mas implies a distance of around 7,200 light years (2,200 parsecs).[1] Assuming membership of the Carina OB2 membership would give a distance of about 1,830 parsecs.[9]

V528 Carinae is a red supergiant of spectral type M2 Ib with an effective temperature of 3,700 K. It has a radius of 700 solar radii.[5] In the visible spectrum, its luminosity is 11,900 times higher than the Sun,[11] but the bolometric luminosity considering all wavelengths reaches around 81,000 L☉.[5] It loses mass at 0.5×10−9 M☉ per year.[12]

It is classified as a slow irregular variable whose prototype is TZ Cassiopeiae.[6]
