HD 167665 is a yellow-white-hued star with a brown dwarf companion in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.39, it is near the lower brightness limit for stars that are visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 32.4 mas as seen from Earth, it is located 101 light-years from the Sun. The star is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +8 km/s.

This star has a stellar classification of F9V Fe−0.8 CH−0.4, which indicates this is an F-type main-sequence star with a spectrum that displays mild underabundances of iron and the CH molecule compared to normal stars of this temperature. It is a solar-type star with about the same mass as the Sun, but has a radius 32% greater. The star is older than the Sun with an estimated age of 6.7 billion years, and it is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 8 km/s. HD 167665 is radiating 2.45 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,080 K.
