Acrux (α Cru), Atria (α TrA), Gacrux (γ Cru), Hadar (Agena, β Cen), Miaplacidus (β Car), Mimosa (Becrux, β Cru), Rigil Kentaurus (Toliman, α Cen), Scutulum (or Aspidiske, ι Car).
The brightest star in the constellation is [8230] alpha Trianguli Australis, also known as Atria, which is just a contraction of its designation. It is an orange bright giant 415 light-years distant and a suspected binary star.
