HD 201507, also designated HR 8095, is a white-hued star located in the equatorial constellation Equuleus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.43, placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 214 light years and it is currently drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −43 km/s.

There have been disagreements in classifying the star's spectrum. Eugene A. Harlan found a spectral classification of F5 IV, indicating that it is a F-type subgiant that is evolving towards the red giant branch. On the other hand, Nancy Houk and Carrie Swift (1999) found a class of F2 V, indicating that it is still on the main sequence.

HD 201507 has 1.45 times the mass of the Sun and a slightly enlarged radius of 2.2 R_☉ due to its evolved state. It shines with a luminosity of about 9 L_☉ from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,846 K. HD 201507 is slightly metal enriched, with a metallicity 123% that of the Sun. This star has a modest projected rotational velocity of 16 km/s and is estimated to be 1.21 billion years old, only a quarter the age of the Sun.
