1313 Berna is an asteroid orbiting the Sun. It is named after the city of Berne, in Switzerland.
A satellite, designated S/2004 (1313) 1, was identified based on lightcurve observations 6–12 February 2004 by René Roy, Stefano Sposetti, Nicolas Waelchli, Donald P. Pray, Nathanaël Berger, Christophe Demeautis, Daniel Matter, Russell I. Durkee, Alain Klotz, Donn R. Starkey, Vincent Cotrez, and Raoul Behrend. This was announced on 12 February 2004 (although the IAUC announcement only came on 23 February 2004). The moon, estimated to be 11 km across, orbits about 35 km from its primary in 1.061±0.005 d.
