( 11335 ) Santiago is an asteroid of the inner main belt, which by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory in Chile ( IAU code 809) was discovered on 20 April 1996.

Mean distance from the sun ( semimajor axis), eccentricity and inclination of the orbital plane of the asteroid roughly correspond to the Vesta family, a large group of asteroids, named after ( 4) Vesta, the second largest asteroid and the third-largest celestial body of the main belt. After FORMING classification (Small Main -Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey) were assumed in ( 11335 ) Santiago by a dark surface with a spectroscopic investigation of Gianluca Masi, Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel, it might be so, roughly speaking, to act a C- asteroids.

( 11335 ) Santiago was named after Santiago de Chile on 2 March 2000, the capital of Chile.
