GJ 1151 is a star located in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major at a distance of 26.2 light years from the Sun. It has a reddish hue and is too faint to be visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 14.0 The star is moving closer with a radial velocity of −36 km/s, and has a relatively large proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at a rate of 1.815″·yr.

This is a small red dwarf star of spectral type dM4.5. It is 2.5 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2.0 km/s. The star has 15.4% of the mass of the Sun and 19.0% of the Sun's radius, with an effective temperature of 3,143 K.

In 2020, astronomers announced the discovery of radio emissions from the star which are consistent with a planet, approximately the size of Earth, rotating in a 1-5 day long orbit.
