(26375) 1999 DE₉ (provisional designation 1999 DE₉) is a trans-Neptunian object. Light-curve-amplitude analysis shows only small deviations, suggesting (26375) 1999 DE₉ is a spheroid with small albedo spots.^[4] Measurements by the Spitzer Space Telescope estimate that it is 461 ± 45 km in diameter.^[3] It was discovered in 1999 by Chad Trujillo and Jane X. Luu. It is possibly a dwarf planet.^[5]

(26375) 1999 DE₉ orbit is in 2:5 resonance with Neptune's.^[1] Spectral analysis has shown traces of ice.^[6]
