64 Andromedae, abbreviated 64 And, is a single[9] star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. With a spectral type G8III, it is a deep-yellow coloured G-type giant approximately 404 light years from Earth with an apparent magnitude of 5.19.[2] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of –13.6 km/s.[2]

This star is estimated to be 350 million years old[6] with a negligible rotation rate, showing a projected rotational velocity of 0.69 km/s.[7] It has a little more than 3 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 16 times the Sun's radius.[6] 64 And is radiating 136 times the luminosity of the Sunfrom its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,944 K[6]
