19 Cephei is a supergiant star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Cepheus. It has a spectral class of of O9 and is a member of Cep OB2, an OB association of massive stars located about 615 parsecs (2,010 ly) from the Sun.[5]

The spectrum of 19 Cephei shows line profile variability on an hourly and daily timescale. This is thought to be due to the changes in the stellar wind.[3]

Double star catalogues list several companions for 19 Cephei. The Washington Double Star Catalog describes four companions: 11th magnitude stars 20" and 56" away, and two 15th magnitude stars 4-5" away.[7] The Catalog of Components of Double and Multiple Stars gives only the two 11th magnitude stars.[8]
