Iota Aquarii (ι Aqr, ι Aquarii) is the Bayer designation for a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of +4.279.[2] based upon parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, the distance to this star is around 175 light-years (54 parsecs).[2]

The spectrum of this star fits a stellar classification of B8 V,[3] showing that this is a B-type main sequence star. It has 2.7[5] times the radius of the Sun and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 135 km/s.[7] A 2010 infrared search for companions around this star was unsuccessful.[8]
