Kepler-56b (KOI-1241.02) is a hot Neptune—a class of exoplanets—located roughly away. It is somewhat larger than Neptune and orbits its parent star Kepler-56 and was discovered in 2013 by the Kepler Space Telescope.

==Planetary orbit== Kepler-56b is about away from its host star (about one-tenth of the distance between Earth to the Sun), making it even closer to its parent star than Mercury () and Venus (). It takes 10.5 days for Kepler-56b to complete a full orbit around its star. Further research shows that Kepler-56b's orbit is about 45° misaligned to the host star's equator. Later radial velocity measurements have revealed evidence of a gravitational perturbation from Kepler-56d.
