Omega Capricorni (ω Cap, ω Capricorni) is a star in the constellation Capricornus, with the traditional but seldom used name Baten Algiedi, which is Arabic for "belly of the goat".

In Chinese, 天田 (Tiān Tián), meaning Celestial Farmland, refers to an asterism consisting of ω Capricorni, 3 Piscis Austrini, 24 Capricorni and ψ Capricorni. Consequently, ω Capricorni itself is known as 天田二 (Tiān Tián èr, English: the First Star of Celestial Farmland.)

ω Capricorni is a M-type red giant with an apparent magnitude of +4.12. It is also classed as a variable star because of its regular fluctuations in luminosity and absolute magnitude. It is approximately 630 light years from Earth.
