HD 167714, also known as HR 6837, is a solitary, orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has apparent magnitude of 5.95,[2] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from Gaia, the object is estimated to be 359 light years distant.[1] With a heliocentric radial velocity of −13.9 km/s,[6] it is approaching the Solar System.

This is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K2 III.[4] It appears to be on the red giant branch,[3] generating energy by fusing a hydrogen shell around an inert helium core. At present it has 1.4 times the mass of the Sun[8] and at the age of two billion years,[10] it has expanded to 12.3 times its girth.[9] It shines with a luminosity 65 times greater than that of the Sun[8] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,692 K.[9] HD 167714 has a near-solar metallicity[10] and is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1.7 km/s.[11]
