62 Andromedae is a single star in the northern constellation Andromeda. 62 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation, abbreviated 62 And; it also bears the Bayer designation of c Andromedae. It is bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, with an apparent magnitude of 5.31. Based upon parallax measurements made during the Gaia mission, it is at a distance of roughly 273 light-years (84 pc) from Earth. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −30 km/s, and is predicted to come to within 144.6 light-years in 1.6 million years.

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V. Abt and Morrel (1995) gave it a class of A1 III, matching a more evolved giant star. The star has 2.4 times the mass of the Sun, about 2.6 times the Sun's radius, and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 86 km/s. It is radiating 50 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,572 K. 62 And is about 57% of the way through its main sequence lifetime.
