Nu Herculis, Latinized from ν Herculis, is a star in the constellation of Hercules. With an apparent magnitude of 4.41, it is faintly visible to the naked eye.[2] Parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft put it at a distance of about 860 light years (260 parsecs).[1]

Nu Herculis's spectral type of F2 II means that it is an F-type bright giant, with a luminosity 977 times that of the Sun.[7] Its effective temperature is 6,410 K, hotter than the Sun.[8] Its mass is about 5.3 solar masses.[8] It is a semiregular variable star.[5]
