Autonoe (aw-ton'-oe-ee, IPA/ɔ'tɒnoʊi/, Greek Αυτονόη) (Jupiter XXVIII) is a natural satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaii led by Scott S. Sheppard et al. in 2001, and given the temporary designation S/2001 J 1. Autonoe is about 4 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 24,264 Mm in 772.168 days, at an inclination of 151° to the ecliptic (129° to Jupiter's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.369.

The distribution of the known moons over the planets is shown in the following table, which also displays for each planet the last year of the discovery of a moon (per 2006-05-25).
This table shows the moons that are on average the furthest from or the closest to the center of their planet, measured in units of 1000 km.
The table lists the moons with the greatest density (compared to water), in general and for each planet, and the moons with the smallest known density.
