33 Pegasi is the Flamsteed designation for a visual binary star in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.2,[2] placing it near the limit of naked eye visibility. Measurements made with the Hipparcos spacecraft show an annual parallax shift of 0.02967″,[1] which is equivalent to a distance of roughly 110 ly (34 pc) from the Sun.

The primary component of this system is a main sequence star with a visual magnitude of 6.4[3] and a stellar classification of F7 V.[4] It is nearly as old as the Sun with an estimated age of 4.1 billion years, but has a lower abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium. The stellar atmosphere has an effective temperature of 6,169 K,[6] giving it the yellow-white glow of an F-type star.[8]

A faint, magnitude 9.3 companion star is located at an angular separation of 0.420 arc seconds along a position angle of 0.0°.[3] The orbital period of this pair is large enough that it has not be computed based on current observations.[9]
