-->S/2000 J 11 was an object believed to be the second-outermost prograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaii led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2000.

S/2000 J 11 has not been recovered and is no longer considered a satellite candidate.

The satellite was initially included in the Himalia group,Sheppard, S. S.; Jewitt, D. C.; , Nature, 423 (May 2003), pp. 261-263 but its mean orbital elements were never calculated.

S/2000 J 11 was believed to be about 4 kilometres in diameter, orbiting Jupiter at an average distance of 12.555 Gm (million km) in 287 days, at an inclination of 28° (to Jupiter's equator), and with an eccentricity of 0.248.Sheppard, S.
