HR 8442 is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Cepheus. The primary is a G type giant star while the secondary's spectral type is unknown.[4]

The spectroscopic binary nature of the star was first noticed by Jose Renan de Medeiros and Michel Mayor using radial velocity measurements from the Coravel spectrometer at Haute-Provence Observatory.[9] Roger Griffin then placed the star on his observing program at Cambridge Observatory leading to an orbital solution being published in 2015.[4]
