HD 190228 is a star with an orbiting substellar companion in the northern constellation of Vulpecula. Its apparent magnitude is 7.30 – too faint to be seen with the naked eye – and the absolute magnitude is 3.34. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 205 light-years (63 parsecs) from the Sun. The system is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −50 km/s.

The spectrum of HD 190228 presents as a subgiant star with a stellar classification of G5 IV, indicating it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and is evolving off the main sequence. The star is older than the Sun with an age over 5 billion years with a projected rotational velocity of 1.4 km/s. A metal-poor star, it has 18% more mass than the Sun and has grown to 2.4 times the Sun's girth. The star is radiating roughly 4.6 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,311 K.
