Alfa Kentauri ili α Cen ili Toliman je najsjajnija zvezda u sazvežđu Kentaur (Centaurus), koje je vidljivo od januara do jula, a kulminira tokom aprila i nije vidljivo sa severne polulopte na geografskim širinama većim od 30°. Alfa Kentaur je Zemlji najbliža zvezda, posle Sunca.

Alfa Kentauri AB[note 1]

Alfa Kentauri AB je najsvetlija zveza vidljiva s leve strane, koja formira trozvezdani sistem sa Proksima Kentauri, zaokruženom crveno. Najsvetliji zvezdani sistem sa desne strane je Beta Kentauri.

Alfa Kentauri

Iako je najbliža zvezda Zemlji (posle Sunca) tek je peta po sjaju sa svojom prividnom magnitudom 0,06, a nalazi se na 4,3 svetlosne godine od Zemlje. Koordinate Alfa Kentaura u sfernom nebeskom ekvatorskom koordinatnom sistemu su 14 sati i 36 minuta (rektascenzija) i -60°38' (deklinacija). Ova zvezda pripada spektralnoj klasi G2 (prema Harvardskoj spektralnoj klasifikaciji), kao i Sunce.

Alfa Kentauri je trojni sistem, čiji član je i Proksima Kentauri, najbliža zvezda Suncu.
