11P/Tempel–Swift–LINEAR is a periodic comet with a 5.95-year orbit around the Sun.
== Observational history == === Discovery === In 1869, the comet's perihelion was around from the Sun. Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel originally discovered the comet on 27 November 1869, from his observatory at Marseille. It was later observed by Lewis Swift from the Warner Observatory on 11 October 1880, and he realised that it is the same comet as Tempel's.
