17 Delphini is a solitary star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus. It has an absolute magnitude of −0.64 and apparent magnitude of 5.18, allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. Located 517 light years away, it is approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of {{val|-10.2|ul=km/s}}.
17 Delphini is an orange giant that is most likely on the horizontal branch (84% probability). At present it has 2.33 times the mass of the Sun, but at an age of 832 million years — has expanded to 23.36 times the radius of the Sun. It shines at {{val|219|ul=solar luminosities}} from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,616 K, giving it an orange glow. 17 Del has an iron abundance 64% that of the Sun and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of {{val|3|ul=km/s}}.
17 Del is suspected to be a variable star of unknown type ranging from 5.16 to 5.27.
