805 Hormuthia is a minor planet orbiting the Sun in the asteroid belt. This asteroid follows a stretched, oval orbit through the main asteroid belt that reaches perihelion just outside the Kirkwood gap at 2.5 AU. Its diameter is thought to be 73 km, and it is one of the 500 biggest asteroids.
It was found by Max Wolf in 1915. Its provisional name was 1915 WW.
