9904 Mauratombelli is a C-type main belt asteroid. It orbits the Sun once every 4.52 years. [cite web | url = http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=9904 | title = 9904 Mauratombelli (1997 OC1) | work = JPL Small-Body Database Browser | publisher = NASA/JPL | accessdate = 2008-02-07]

Discovered on July 29, 1997 by Andrea Boattini and Luciano Tesi working at the Pistoia Mountains Astronomical Observatory, it was given the provisional designation "mp|1997 OC|1". It was later renamed "Mauratombelli" after astronomer Maura Tombelli, who studied variable stars and minor planets. [MPC 34632 "Minor Planet Center"]
