V391 Pegasi is a hot subdwarf in the constellation Pegasus, about 4000 light-years from Earth . Its mutable type is V361 Hya .

In 2007 Roberto Silvotti discovered an exoplanet orbiting this star. This is called V391 Pegasi b . A current work from 2018 by the same group questions this. An upcoming evaluation of the TESS data could help to confirm or reject the exoplanet.
