We present the orbital and physical parameters of a newly discovered low‐mass detached eclipsing binary from the All‐Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) data base: ASAS J011328–3821.1 A, which is a member of a visual binary system with the secondary component separated by about 1.4 arcsec. The radial velocities have been calculated from the high‐resolution spectra obtained with the 1.9‐m Radcliffe telescope/Grating Instrument for Radiation Analysis with a Fibre‐Fed Echelle (GIRAFFE) spectrograph, the 3.9‐m Anglo‐Australian Telescope (AAT)/University College London Echelle Spectrograph (UCLES) and the 3.0‐m Shane telescope/Hamilton Spectrograph (HamSpec) on the basis of the  todcor  technique and the positions of the H α  emission lines. For the analysis, we have used  V ‐ and  I ‐band photometry obtained with the 1.0‐m Elizabeth telescope and the 0.41‐m Panchromatic Robotic Optical Monitoring and Polarimetry Telescopes (PROMPT), supplemented with the publicly available ASAS light curve of the system.  We have found that ASAS J011328–3821.1 A is composed of two late‐type dwarfs, which have masses of  M  1  = 0.612 ± 0.030 M ⊙  and  M  2  = 0.445 ± 0.019 M ⊙  and radii of  R  1  = 0.596 ± 0.020 R ⊙  and  R  2  = 0.445 ± 0.024 R ⊙ . Both show a substantial level of activity, which manifests in strong H α  and H β  emission and the presence of cool spots. The influence of the third light on the eclipsing pair properties has also been evaluated and the photometric properties of component B have been derived. A comparison with several popular stellar evolution models shows that the system is on its main‐sequence evolution stage and that it is probably more metal‐rich than the Sun. We have also found several clues to suggest that component B itself is a binary composed of two nearly identical ∼0.5‐M ⊙  stars.
