26 Draconis is a triple star system in the constellation Draco located 46 light years from the Sun. Two of the system components A and B form a spectroscopic binary that completes an orbit every 76 years. The composite spectral classification of the AB pair is G0V which decomposes to individual spectral types F9V and K3V. A 1962 study estimated the masses of these two stars as 1.30 and 0.83 times the mass of the Sun respectively.
