5535 Annefrank /ˌæn ˈfræŋk/ is an inner main-belt asteroid and member of the Augusta family. It was discovered by Karl Reinmuth in 1942. In 1995 it was named after Anne Frank the Dutch-Jewish diarist who died in a concentration camp. The asteroid was used as a target to practice the flyby technique that the Stardust space probe would later use on the comet Wild 2.
