64 Eridani is a single,[14] yellow-white hued star in the constellation Eridanus having variable star designation S Eridani. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.8.[7] The annual parallax shift is measured at 12.01 mas, which equates to a distance of about 283 light years.[3] In addition to its proper motion, it is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of around −9 km/s.[9]

This is an F-type star with a stellar classification of F0 V.[6] It is catalogued a low amplitude Delta Scuti variable with a primary period of 0.273 days.[8] It was originally classified, tentatively, as an RR Lyrae variable of type 'c'.[15]

64 Eridani is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 212 km/s.[12] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge; its equatorial radius is 8% larger than its polar radius.[16] The star is an estimated 756 million years old with 2.3 times the mass of the Sun.[10] It is radiating 65 times the Sun's luminosity[11] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of roughly 7,346 K.[10]
