Stephano (Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell) is a retrograde irregular satellite of Uranus. It was discovered by Brett J. Gladman, et al. in 1999, and given the provisional designation S/1999 U 2.[1][2][3][4][5]

Confirmed as Uranus XX, it was named after the drunken butler in William Shakespeare's play The Tempest in August 2000.[6]

The orbital parameters suggest that it may belong to the same dynamic cluster as Caliban, suggesting a common origin.[7]
