4492 Debussy is a main belt asteroid. It was discovered on 17 September 1988 by Eric Walter Elst. It is presumably named after the French composer Claude Debussy.[citation needed] It is believed to measure approximately 10 km in diameter.

On 21 March 2004 it was announced that lightcurve observations indicate the presence of a moon orbiting Debussy at a distance of between 5.2 and 13.5 km.
