51 Camelopardalis (51 Cam), also designated as HD 62066, is a solitary star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.93. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 334 light-years and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of {{val|−30.9|ul=km/s}}. At its current distance, 51 Cam's brightness is diminished by 0.17 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.92.

51 Cam has a stellar classification of K2 III, indicating that it is an evolved K-type giant star. It has a comparable mass to the Sun but it has more than twice the latter's age at 9.25 billion years. As a result, it has exhausted hydrogen at its core and it has expanded to 11.8 times the radius of the Sun. It radiates 57.2 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of {{val|4626|ul=K|fmt=commas}}. 51 Cam has a solar metallicity at [Fe/H] = +0.00.
