Clorinde (minor planet designation: 282 Clorinde) is a typical Main belt asteroid.[2] It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 28 January 1889 in Nice. It was named after Clorinda, the heroine of Torquato Tasso's poem Jerusalem Delivered.

Photometric measurements during 2020–2021 was used to produce a light curve, which shows a rotation period of 49.353±0.004 h with a brightness variation of 0.26 in magnitude. This differs substantially from previous studies.[3]
