192 Nausikaa is a large main belt asteroid. It is a mixture of silicates and metallic iron-nickel.

It was discovered by Johann Palisa on February 17, 1879. The name derives from Nausicaa, a princess in Homer's Odyssey.

Based on the lightcurve data obtained from Nausikaa, a possible satellite was reported in 1985. However, it has not been confirmed [1].

A shape model of Nausikaa has been constructed, also based on the lightcurve data. It indicates a roughly-cut, but not very elongated body [2].

In 1998 an occultation of a star by the asteroid was observed from the United States.
