106 Herculis is a variable star in the northern constellation Hercules. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued point of light with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 4.96.[3] Based on its parallax, it is estimated to lie 383 light-years (117 parsecs) away from the Sun.[4] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of -35 km/s.[8]

Eggleton and Tokovinin (2008) listed this as a suspected binary star system consisting of two roughly equal components.[11] It appears as an ageing red giant with a stellar classification of M0III. This is a suspected semiregular variable star with a very small amplitude and a period of 40 days or more.[7] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, it has expanded to 44[2] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating around 414[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of about 3,789 K.[4]
