14 Eridani is a star in the equatorial Eridanus constellation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.143 and is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of around −5 km/s. The measured annual parallax shift is 29.26 mas, which provides an estimated distance of about 121 light years. Proper motion studies indicate that this is an astrometric binary.

The visible component has a stellar classification of F5 V Fe−0.7 CH−0.5, which indicates it has the spectrum of an F-type main-sequence star with mild underabundances of iron and methylidyne. It is 1.4 billion years old with 1.3 times the mass of the Sun and 1.5 times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 3.87 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,719 K. The system has been detected as a source of X-ray emission.
