- List of Saturn-crossing asteroids
A Saturn-crosser asteroid is an asteroid whose orbit crosses that of Saturn. The known numbered Saturn-crossers are listed below. There is only one inner-grazer (944 Hidalgo) and no outer-grazers or co-orbitals known; most if not all of the crossers are Centaurs.
"Notes": † inner-grazer.
