1912 Anubis, also designated 6534 P–L, is a stony asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 10 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on September 24, 1960, by the Dutch and Dutch–American astronomers Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden, and Tom Gehrels, who took the photographic plates at Palomar Observatory, California. The minor planet is named for Anubis, the jackal-headed Egyptian god and protector of the dead. On the same date, the trio of astronomers also discovered 1923 Osiris, 1924 Horus and 5011 Ptah, also named after Ancient Egyptian deities.
