CP Puppis was a bright nova occurring in the constellation Puppis in 1942. From a 17th magnitude star, it reached an apparent visual magnitude of –0.2 then began a rapid decline. It had dropped by three magnitudes in an interval of 6.5 days, one of the sharpest declines ever noted for a nova. About 14 years later, the shell ejected by the nova event was detected, which allowed the distance to be computed. In 2000, this distance was revised to 3,720 light-years after correcting for probable errors. The Gaia spacecraft later measured the parallax of the star leading to an accurate distance of 815+15−14 parsecs.

La CP Puppis o Nova Puppis 1942 es el nombre que los astrónomos le dieron a la nova aparecida en la constelación de Puppis, en el año 1942. A partir de una estrella de magnitud 17, alcanzó una magnitud aparente de 0.3, siendo este el brillo intrínseco más alto de cualquier nova del siglo XX, pudiéndose ver a simple vista.
