Los Molinos Observatory (Spanish: Observatorio Astronómico Los Molinos, OALM; obs. code: 844) is an astronomical observatory owned by the Ministerio de Educación y Cultura de Uruguay and operated in collaboration with the University of the Republic's Astronomy Department. It is located near the city of Las Piedras, on the outskirts of Montevideo, Uruguay.[1]

The observatory is actively involved in follow-up observations of small bodies in the Solar System such as asteroids and comets.[2] It has the observatory code 844.[3]

The main-belt asteroid 10476 Los Molinos, discovered by American astronomer Schelte Bus at the Siding Spring Observatory in 1981, was named after this observatory.[2] The official naming citation was published on 13 April 2017 by the Minor Planet Center (M.P.C. 103975).[4]
