RV Andromedae is a variable star in the constellation of Andromeda. It is classified as a semiregular variable pulsating giant star, and varies from an apparent visual magnitude of 11.5 at minimum brightness to a magnitude of 9.0 at maximum brightness, with a period of approximately 168.9 days.[3]

In 1904, English amateur astronomer Arthur Stanley Williams examined photographic plates taken during the previous two years and determined that RV Andromedae was a variable star whose period he estimated to be 182 days.[6] In 1907, Annie Jump Cannon listed it with its variable star designation in her Second Catalogue of Variable Stars.[7]

This is one of the Mira variables where mode switching of pulsations have been observed; amplitude and periods have been seen decreasing and subsequently increasing back to values near the previous ones.[8]
