101 Virginis is a red giant variable star in the Boötes constellation. It was originally catalogued as 101 Virginis by Flamsteed due to an error in the position.[5][6] When it was confirmed as a variable star, it was actually within the border of the constellation Bootes and given the name CY Boötis.[3]

The variability is not strongly defined but a primary period of 23 days and a secondary period of 340 days have been reported.[7]
