Rho2 Cephei, Latinized from ρ2 Cephei, or simply ρ Cephei, is a solitary[9] star in the northern constellation of Cepheus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.50,[2] it is faintly visible to the naked eye, forming an optical pair with Rho1 Cephei. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.31 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] it is located about 245 light years from the Sun.

For other stars with this Bayer designation, see ρ Cephei.
