18 Andromedae, abbreviated 18 And, is a single[7] star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 18 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.350.[2] The annual parallax shift of 7.9 mas[1] can be used to estimate a distance of 413 light years. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s.[5]

This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 Ve,[4] where the 'e' notation indicates this is a Be star. The stellar spectrum of 18 And displays an emission line in the hydrogen Brackett series due to a dense gaseous circumstellar envelope.[4] The star is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 183[3] km/s and has about three[3] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating 147[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,351 K.[2]
