11 Andromedae, abbreviated 11 And, is a single,[10] orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 11 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.44,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. An annual parallax shift of 11.5 mas[1] yields a distance estimate of 283 light years. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s.[1]

This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III,[3] which means it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and turned off the main sequence. It has an estimated 2.57[5] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to around 12[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 63[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,874 km/s.[5]

Within Andromeda it is the south-west end of a bright northerly chain (jagged line) asterism – the others being, their order going with numbering, 8, 7, 5 and 3 Andromedae.
