15 Vulpeculae is a variable star in the northern constellation of Vulpecula, located approximately 243 light years away based on parallax measurements. It has the variable star designation NT Vulpeculae; 15 Vulpeculae is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with a typical apparent visual magnitude of 4.66. This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −26 km/s.

This is an Am star with a stellar classification of A4 IIIm, matching an evolved A-type giant star. However, Gray & Garrison (1989) found a class of kA5hA7mA7 (IV–V), which matches a blend of subgiant and main sequence luminosity classes with the K-line (kA5) of an A5 star and the hydrogen (hA7) and metal (mA7) absorption lines of an A7 star. It is an Alpha Canum Venaticorum-type variable with magnitude ranging from 4.62 down to 4.67 over a period of 14 days. The star is 2.4 times more massive than the Sun and, as a giant star, expanded to four times the Sun's diameter. It is radiating 62 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,685 K.

There is evidence that 15 Vulpeculae may have a companion star, given the high margins of error in the astrometric measurements taken by Gaia DR3, as well as its unusually slow projected rotational velocity, which could also be explained if the star is being viewed pole-on.
