ν Tauri, Latinized as Nu Tauri, is a single[11] star in the zodiac constellation of Taurus. It is a white-hued star and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +3.91.[2] This object is located 117 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −6 km/s.[6] It is predicted to come to within roughly 18.4 ly of the Sun in around five million years.[12]

This object is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0.5Va.[4] It is 206[8] million years old and is rotating with a projected rotational velocity of 83 km/s.[3] The star has 2.25[3] times the mass of the Sun and 2.87[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 28 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,836 K.[7]

Nu Tauri has a magnitude 9.21 visual companion at an angular separation 15.9″.[13]
