Omicron Leonis (ο Leonis, abbreviated Omicron Leo, ο Leo) is a multiple star system in the constellation of Leo, west of Regulus, some 130 light-years from the Sun, where it marks one of the lion's forepaws.

It consists of a binary pair, designated Omicron Leonis A and an optical companion, Omicron Leonis B.^[6] A's two components are themselves designated Omicron Leonis Aa (officially named Subra /ˈsuːbrə/, the traditional name for the system)^[7][8] and Ab.

ο Leonis (Latinised to Omicron Leonis) is the star's Bayer designation. The designations of the two constituents as Omicron Leonis A and B, and those of A's components—Omicron Leonis Aa and Ab—derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).^[9]

It bore the traditional name Subra, from the Arabic زبرة zubra (upper part of the back), originally applied to Delta and Theta Leonis.^[10]

In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)^[11] to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN decided to attribute proper names to individual stars rather than entire multiple systems.^[12] It approved the name Subra for the component Omicron Leonis Aa on 12 September 2016 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.^[8]

The two members of the spectroscopic pair have similar brightnesses, but are very different stars: the primary is given the type F8-G0III giant; and the secondary is a type A7m dwarf.^[4] Their combined apparent magnitude is +3.52.

The visible companion, component B, is a much fainter star that has increased its separation from about an arc-minute to one and a half arc-minutes in the 350 years since it was first measured.^[6] It is an 11th-magnitude star a little more massive and hotter than the Sun, but much further away than the spectroscopic pair.^[13]
