It depends on your interpretation of what a star is:

The coldest star on the main dequence is a red dwarf.

The coldest star off of the main dequence is a red giant.

The coldest stellar remant is a black dwarf.

However, there stars that cannot fuse hydrogen, but emit light: They are:

  • Brown dwarf < 2,000 oK
  • Methane dwarfs < 1,300 oK
  • Sub Brown Dwarfs < 600 oK
  • Black dwarf 2.3 oK - although none have been observed - See related link.

As far as we know, the coldest stars are brown dwarfs.

I belive the coldest brown star discoved to this date is WISE 1828+2650, with a surface temperature of [250ºK, 400ºK].
