10830 Desforges, provisional designation 1993 UT₆, is a background or Eunomian asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 7 kilometers (4 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 20 October 1993, by Belgian astronomer Eric Elst at the La Silla Observatory in northern Chile.^[1] The likely elongated S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 8.8 hours.^[4] It was named after French priest and aviation visionary Jacques Desforges.^[1]
