72 Pegasi (72 Peg) is a binary star in the constellation Pegasus. Its combined apparent magnitude is 4.97[2] and it is approximately 550 light years away, based on the system's parallax.[1]

72 Pegasi is a visual binary with an orbital period of 492 years. The two stars are relatively similar and are about twice the mass of the Sun each. The primary star, 72 Pegasi A, is a K-type giant with a magnitude of 5.67. The companion, 72 Pegasi B, is another K-type giant with an apparent magnitude of 6.11, and a separation of about 0.568″. 72 Pegasi B is thought to be a binary itself, with a brown dwarf in a 4.2-year period.[6]
