1119 Euboea is a main belt asteroid orbiting the Sun. It was discovered by Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth on October 27, 1927, at Heidelberg, Germany. Its provisional designation was 1927 UB. It was named for Euboea, or Negropont, the largest island of Greece in the Aegean.^[2] The asteroid is 31½ kilometers in diameter and completes one revolution around the Sun in about 4 years.^[1]

Photometric observations of this asteroid collected during 2007 show a rotation period of 11.41 ± 0.201 hours with a brightness variation of 0.5 ± 0.02 magnitude.^[3]
