(120348) 2004 TY₃₆₄, provisionally known as 2004 TY₃₆₄, is a trans-Neptunian object. It is an inner classical Kuiper belt object in the definition by Gladman, Marsden, and Van Laerhoven (e<0.24). Its inclination of almost 25 degrees disqualifies it as such in Marc Buie's definition . It is also not listed as a scattered disc object by the Minor Planet Center. It was discovered by Michael E. Brown, Chad Trujillo and David L. Rabinowitz on October 3, 2004 at the Palomar Observatory.

Light-curve analysis suggests it is not a dwarf planet.

(As of 2014), it is 39.2 AU from the Sun.
