Pi Cephei (π Cephei) is a trinary star located in the constellation Cepheus.[6] With a combined apparent magnitude of about 4.4,[2] the system is faintly visible to the naked eye. The inner pair of stars orbits in 1.5 years while the outer companion completes one orbit in about 160 years.[6]

Pi Cephei was found to have a visual companion star by Otto Wilhelm von Struve in 1843.[6] That the primary is itself a spectroscopic binary was first noticed by William Wallace Campbell in 1901 using photographic plates taken at Lick Observatory.[10]
