RV Andromedae is a variable star in the constellation of Andromeda. It is classified as a semiregular variable pulsating giant star, and varies from an apparent visual magnitude of 11.5 at minimum brightness to a magnitude of 9.0 at maximum brightness, with a period of approximately 168.9 days.^[2]

This is one of the Mira variables where mode switching of pulsations have been observed; amplitude and periods have been seen decreasing and subsequently increasing back to values near the previous ones.^[5]
