Xi Pegasi (ξ Peg, ξ Pegasi) is the Bayer designation for a double star in the northern constellation of Pegasus, the winged horse. Located in the horse's neck, the primary component is an F-type main sequence star that is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.2.[2] It is 87% larger and 15% more massive that the Sun, radiating 4.55 times the solar luminosity.[8] Based upon parallax measurements taken with the Hipparcos spacecraft, it is located 53.2 ± 0.2 light years from the Sun.[1]

The primary has been examined for the presence of an infrared excess that might indicate the presence of a debris disk, but none has been discovered.[13] The common proper motion companion, NLTT 54820, is a twelfth magnitude red dwarf located at an angular separation of 11.4″ along a position angle of 96.9°.[14] This corresponds to a projected physical separation of 192.3 AU.[13]
