Camelopardalis, la jirafa, es una gran constelación del hemisferio norte celeste muy poco conspicua, pues sus estrellas más brillantes (siete) son solo de magnitud 5. Está situada entre las constelaciones de Auriga y las dos Osas. El nombre de Camelopardalis proviene de "camello-leopardo", nombre que los griegos dieron a la jirafa, ya que pensaban que tenía la cabeza de camello y las manchas de leopardo. Fue introducida como constelación por Petrus Plancius y publicada por en 1624 en su libro sobre las constelaciones.
