37 Comae Berenices (37 Com) is a star in the constellation Coma Berenices. Its apparent magnitude is 4.88. It is a weak G-band star, a luminous giant star with a carbon abundance about a factor of 5 lower than is typical for such stars.[5] It is also a variable star of the RS CVn type, classified as LU Com.

37 Comae Berenices was a latter designation of 13 Canum Venaticorum.[6]
