HD 164427 is a star with a likely red dwarf companion in the southern constellation of Pavo. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.88, placing it just below the nominal limit for visibility with the typical naked eye. The annual parallax shift of 26.0 mas yields a distance estimate of 125 light-years (38 parsecs). It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +3.4 km/s.

This is an inactive G-type main-sequence star given a stellar classification of G0+V by Gray et al. (2006), although Evans et al. (1964) classified it as a subgiant star with luminosity class IV. It is 6.6 billion years old with 1.125 times the mass of the Sun and 1.40 times the Sun's radius. The star is somewhat over-luminous for its class, radiating 2.33 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,876 K.
