Psi Pegasi (ψ Peg) is a class M3III[3] (red giant) star in the constellation Pegasus. Its apparent magnitude is 4.66[2] and it is approximately 476 light years away based on parallax.[1]

It is a suspected variable, possibly semiregular with magnitude varying from 4.63 to 4.69.[4][9] It is also believed to have one companion at a separation of 0.17" orbiting with a period of 55 years.[10][11]
