4 Camelopardalis is a star in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.26, it is faintly visible to the naked eye. This is classified as an Am star, which indicates that the spectrum shows abnormalities of certain elements.[6] There is a faint, magnitude 9.49 companion at an angular separation of 0.610″; most likely the pair form a binary star system.[7]
