67 Cancri is a wide binary star[9] system in the zodiac constellation of Cancer, located 195[1] light years away from the Sun. It is just visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with a combined apparent magnitude of 6.07.[2] The binary nature of this system was discovered by James South and John Herschel.[3] As of 2007, the two components have an angular separation of Script error: No such module "val"., corresponding to a projected separation of Script error: No such module "val"..[9] They are moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +12 km/s.[5]

The primary, designated component A, is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A8 Vn.[4] The 'n' notation indicates "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It is a shell star,[10] with weak shell lines of singly-ionized titanium being detected in the near ultraviolet in 1970. These may have come from a sporadic mass loss event.[11] Uesugi and Fukuda (1970) gave a projected rotational velocity estimate of 105[7] km/s for the star, although Abt et al. (1997) suggested it could be as high as 205 km/s.[11]

67 Cancri A is about 867[6] million years old with 1.89[6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.90[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 10.5[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,982 K.[6]
