2014 UZ₂₂₄ is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) and possible dwarf planet orbiting in the scattered disc. As of October 2018, it was approximately 90.7 astronomical units (1.357×10 km) from the Sun, and will slowly decrease in distance until it reaches its perihelion of 38 AU sometime near 2142. The discoverers have nicknamed it "DeeDee" for "Distant Dwarf".

2014 UZ₂₂₄ was discovered by a team led by David Gerdes using data collected by the large camera Dark Energy Camera (DECam). It has a diameter of ~635 km (395 mi) and reflects just 13 percent of the sunlight that hits it on its 1,136 year orbit around the sun. Since the numbering of (532037) 2013 FY27 in May 2019, 2014 UZ₂₂₄ may be the largest unnumbered object in the Solar System.
