'''323P/SOHO''' is a [[periodic comet]] with an [[orbital period]] of 4.15 years discovered in images obtained by the [[Solar and Heliospheric Observatory]] (SOHO). It is considered to be a [[sungrazing comet]] due to its [[perihelion]] being very close to the Sun.{{cite book |last1=Pavlov |first1=S. |last2=Medvedev |first2=Yu. |title=Astronomy at the Epoch of Multimessenger Studies: Proceedings of the VAK-2021 conference, Aug 23–28, 2021 |chapter=Determination of sunskirters' orbits on the example of comet 323P/SOHO |journal=|date=22 February 2022 |pages=105–108 |doi=10.51194/VAK2021.2022.1.1.028 |bibcode=2022aems.conf..105P |isbn=978-5-8037-0848-3 |s2cid=247178307 }} 323P/SOHO has the smallest perihelion of all numbered comets.{{cite web |title=Small-Body Database Query, numbered comets with q < 0.2 au |url=https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_query.html#!#results |website=ssd.jpl.nasa.gov |access-date=26 March 2023}}
