HD 180314 is a star with an orbiting substellar companion in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.61.[2] The distance to this system is 401 light years based on parallax measurements, but it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −73.9 km/s.[3] With high probability it is a member of the Hercules stream of co-moving stars.[5]

This is an evolved giant star of the K-type with a stellar classification of K0 III.[2] At the age of roughly 600 million years, it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and expanded away from the main sequence. It has 2.48 times the mass of the Sun and 8.10 times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 44 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,997 K.[3]

The star is orbited by one substellar companion, HD 180314 b,[4] an object with a minimum mass 22 times that of Jupiter and hence likely to be a brown dwarf.[2] It orbits HD 180314 every 396 days with a semi-major axis of 1.4 AU. HD 180314 b's orbit is moderately eccentric, with an orbital eccentricity of 0.257.[6]
