Polaris, also known as the North Star, is a bright star that is fairly close to the celestial north pole - i.e., the Earth's axis temporarily points almost exactly in its direction (with a discrepancy of less than 1 degree).
This situation is only temporary; the direction of Earth's axis in space is changing (for more information, read about "Precession"), and in a few thousand years, Polaris will no longer be the "North Star".
