WASP-66, also known as TYC 7193-1804-1, is an F-type star in the constellation Antlia. It has an apparent magnitude of 11.6, which is much too faint to be seen with the unaided eye and is located at a distance of .
WASP-66 has a classification of F4, which states that it is an ordinary F-type main sequence star that is fusing hydrogen at its core. At present it has 130% the mass of the Sun and 175 the radius of the Sun. It has an effective temperature of , which gives it a yellowish-white hue. The star is younger than Sun at billion years, and may be either metal-poor or similar to Sun in concentration of heavy elements. Currently it is spinning moderately with a projected rotational velocity of 13.4 km/s.
