163P/NEAT is a periodic comet discovered on November 5, 2004 by Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) using the 1.2 meter Samuel Oschin telescope at Palomar Observatory.
Precovery images of the comet were found by Maik Meyer in December 2004. There were two images from 1997, two images from 1991, and three images from 1990.
During the 2005 perihelion passage the comet brightened to an apparent magnitude of about 16.
Around November 17, 2114, the comet will pass about {{convert|0.117|AU|km mi|abbr=on|lk=on}} from Jupiter.
