Jupiter LXXII, originally known as {{nowrap|S/2011 J 1}}, is a natural satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by Scott Sheppard in 2011.[http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K12/K12B97.html MPEC 2012-B97 : S/2011 J 1 AND S/2011 J 2] 2012 Jan. 29 (issued)[http://www.dtm.ciw.edu/users/sheppard/satellites/jupsatdata.html Jupiter's Known Satellites] It belongs to the Carme group.

This moon was lost after its discovery in 2011.{{cite web |url=http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/outer-planet-moons-found-and-lost/ |title=Outer-Planet Moons Found — and Lost |last=Beatty |first=Kelly |date=4 April 2012 |website=www.skyandtelescope.com |publisher=Sky & Telescope |access-date=27 June 2017}}{{cite journal |last1=Brozović |first1=Marina |last2=Jacobson |first2=Robert A. |date=9 March 2017 |title=The Orbits of Jupiter's Irregular Satellites |journal=The Astronomical Journal |volume=153 |issue=4 |pages=147 |doi=10.3847/1538-3881/aa5e4d|bibcode = 2017AJ....153..147B |doi-access=free }}{{cite journal |last1=Jacobson |first1=B. |last2=Brozović |first2=M. |first3=B. |last3=Gladman |first4=M. |last4=Alexandersen |first5=P.
