IZ Aquarii is a red giant star in the constellation Aquarius. It is a slow irregular variable that varies between magnitudes 6.23 and 6.47. It is can be seen by the naked eye as a very faint star by an observer at an excellent dark-sky location.

The star's variability was first detected in the Hipparcos satellite data, and it was given its variable star designation in 1999.
