1150 Achaia is a main belt asteroid orbiting the Sun. It makes a revolution around the Sun once every 3 years. It was discovered by Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth in Heidelberg, Germany on September 2, 1929. Ten days later, it was independently discovered by A. Schwassman and A. A. Wachmann at Bergedorf. It was named after the Greek region Achaea in the northern Peloponnese.
