1450 Raimonda, provisional designation 1938 DP, is a background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 15 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 20 February 1938, by astronomer Yrjö Väisälä at the Iso-Heikkilä Observatory in Turku, Finland.^[12] The asteroid was named after Dutch astronomer Jean Jacques Raimond, Jr.^[2]

Raimonda is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population.^[4] It orbits the Sun in the central asteroid belt at a distance of 2.2–3.1 AU once every 4 years and 3 months (1,542 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.17 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic.^[1]

The body's observation arc begins with its first identification as A915 TF at Heidelberg Observatory in October 1915, more than 22 years prior to its official discovery observation at Turku.^[12]

Raimonda is an assumed stony S-type asteroid,^[3] despite its rather low albedo.

This minor planet was named after Jean Jacques Raimond, Jr. (1903–1961), a Dutch astronomer who was the president of the Dutch Astronomical Society (Dutch: Nederlandse Vereniging voor Weer- en Sterrenkunde; Netherlands Association for Meteorology and Astronomy) and director of the Zeiss planetarium at The Hague.^[2]

The naming was suggested by Belgian astronomer Jean Meeus, and the official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 February 1965 (M.P.C. 2347).^[13] The lunar crater Raimond was also named in his honor.^[2]
