30 Piscium (HIP 154) is a solitary[9] red giant star in the zodiac constellation of Pisces. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.37.[7] The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.91±0.28 mas,[1] is around 234 light years. It is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −12 km/s.[6]

This is a candidate long-period variable star[5] and has been given the designation YY Psc.[10] Its varies in brightness between magnitudes 4.31 and 4.41 with no clear period. Possible periods of 23.1, 32.0, 53.6, and 167.8 days have been identified.[11]
