    782 Montefiore is a minor planet orbiting the Sun that was discovered by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa on March 18, 1914 and named for Clarice Sebag-Montefiore, wife of Alfons von Rothschild of Vienna.

    10µ radiometric data collected from Kitt Peak in 1975 gave a diameter estimate of 15 km.[2]
