62 Erato (Template:IPAc-en) is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately Template:Convert in diameter. It is a member of the Themis family of asteroids that share similar properties and orbital characteristics. Photometric measurements during 2004–2005 showed a rotation period of Template:Val with an amplitude of Template:Val in magnitude.<ref name=Gonçalves2006/> It is orbiting the Sun with a period of Template:Convert, a semimajor axis of Template:Val, and eccentricity of 0.178. The orbital plane is inclined by an angle of 2.22° to the plane of the ecliptic.

Erato is the first asteroid to have been credited with co-discoverers, Oskar Lesser and Wilhelm Forster, who discovered it on 14 September 1860, from the Berlin Observatory. It was their first and only asteroid discovery. The name was chosen by Johann Franz Encke, director of the observatory, and refers to Erato, the Muse of lyric poetry in Greek mythology.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> It has also been classified as a member of the Eos family.<ref name=icarus172_2_388/>
