21 Camelopardalis (21 Cam) is a star in the constellation Camelopardalis. Its apparent magnitude is 6.9. It is one of the fainter stars with a Flamsteed designation, one of only 220 below the magnitude cutoff for the Bright Star Catalogue.[8]

The spectral type for 21 Camelopardalis is given only as A5 with no published luminosity class. It is treated as a normal main sequence star,[9] although it is calculated to be larger and more luminous than a typical A5 main sequence star.[7][10]
