HD 33875 (HR 1700) is a solitary star in the southern circumpolar constellation Mensa. With an apparent magnitude of 6.26, it is barely visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is located at a distance of 421 light years but is receding at a rate of 8 km/s.

HD 33875 is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of either A1 V or A0 V depending on the source. At present it has 2.38 times the mass of the Sun and 2.84 times the radius of the Sun. It shines at 49.2 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,392 K, which gives it a white glow. HD 33875 is a fast rotator, spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 124 km/s.
