1124 Stroobantia is a Main-belt Asteroid orbiting the Sun. Approximately 25 kilometers in diameter, it makes a revolution around the Sun once every 5 years. It was discovered by Eugène Joseph Delporte at Uccle, Belgium on October 6, 1928. It is named for Paul Stroobant, director of the Royal Observatory at Uccle Belgium. His work concerned minor planets' mass, number, and distribution.
