(20108) 1995 QZ9, also written (20108) 1995 QZ9, is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) that resides in the Kuiper belt. It was discovered on August 29, 1995 by David C. Jewitt and Jun Chen at the Mauna Kea Observatory, Hawaii. Since it is in a 3:2 orbital resonance with Neptune similar to Pluto, it has been catigorized as a plutino.
