CS Camelopardalis (CS Cam) is a binary star in reflection nebulae vdB 14, in the constellation Camelopardalis.

CS Cam was designated B Cam by Bode, or 2H.Cam. It forms a group of stars known as the Camelopardalis R1 association, part of the Cam OB1 association. The near-identical supergiant CE Camelopardalis is located half a degree to the south.

The primary component, CS Camelopardalis A, is a blue-white B-type supergiant with a mean apparent magnitude of 4.21m. It is classified as an Alpha Cygni type variable star and its brightness varies from magnitude 4.19m to 4.23m. Its companion, CS Camelopardalis B, is a magnitude 8.7m star located 2.9 arcseconds from the primary.
