9932 Kopylov is a main belt asteroid. It orbits the Sun once every 4.08 years.^[1]

Discovered on August 23, 1985 by Nikolai Chernykh working at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, it was given the provisional designation "1985 QP₅". It was later renamed "Kopylov" after Ivan Mikheevich Kopylov, the director of the Special Astrophysical Observatory from 1966 until 1985.^[3]
