C/1652 Y1 was a naked-eye comet observed, among others, by Jan van Riebeeck. It was first spotted on December 14, 1652, in Mexico City, by Novohispano friar Diego Rodríguez, and next sighted on December 16, 1652, by Dutch observers at Pernambuco (Brazil).

{{As of|2008|06}} the comet was about 280 AU from the Sun (very approximate due to poorly determined orbit).
