HD 16760 is a binary star system approximately 186 light-years away in the constellation Perseus. The primary star HD 16760A (HIP 12638) is a G-type main sequence star similar to the Sun. The secondary, HD 16760B (HIP 12635) is 1.521 magnitudes fainter and located at a separation of 14.6 arcseconds from the primary, corresponding to a physical separation of at least 660 AU.

The primary star also has a companion, either a red dwarf or a brown dwarf, that is designated HD 16760 b (lowercase). SIMBAD also lists the designation HD 16760C for this object.
