HD 167042 b is a gas giant extrasolar planet located approximately 163 light-years away in the constellation of Draco, orbiting the star HD 167042. The mass 1.7 M_J is only minimum since the inclination of the orbital plane is unknown. As it is typical for most extrasolar planets, it orbits less than 3 AU from the parent star, hence taking less than 2000 days (5.5 years) to revolve. For this planet, it orbits at 1.30 AU and taking 413 days to revolve around the star. Unlike most exoplanets, the eccentricity of the orbit is low, only 3%.

This planet was discovered on September 20, 2007 and is currently unpublished because the discoverers didn't write a paper to other astronomers to agree the discovery. However on October 22, 2007 this planet is now published. This planet was typical as it was discovered by using radial velocity mounted on the spectroscope.
