Cordelia is the innermost moon of Uranus. Apart from its orbital radius and dimensions, virtually nothing is known about it. It was named after a daughter of Lear in William Shakespeare's King Lear.

Cordelia's orbit is within Uranus' synchronous orbit radius, and is therefore slowly decaying due to tidal forces.

  • Orbital radius: 49,752 km
  • Orbital period: 0.335033 days
  • Orbital inclination: 0.14 °
  • Diameter: 26 km
  • Mass:  ?
