Kappa Cephei, Latinized from κ Cephei, is a binary star[10] system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Cepheus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue white-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude is 4.39.[11] The system is located approximately 323–326 light years distant from the Sun, based on parallax.

The two gravitationally-bound members of this system had an angular separation of Script error: No such module "val". along a position angle of 120°, as of 2015.[11] The primary, designated component A, has a stellar classification of B9III,[3] matching a blue giant. The magnitude 8.34 secondary, component B, is an A-type main-sequence star of class A7V.[3] A third star of 10th magnitude, BD+77 763, is listed as component C in the Washington Double Star Catalog although it is a background object unrelated to the other two.
