82 Aquarii is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. 82 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.15, which, according to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, means it is a faint star that requires dark rural skies to view.

Because this star is positioned near the ecliptic, it is subject to lunar eclipses.
