152P/Helin–Lawrence is a Jupiter-family comet with a 9.52-year orbit around the Sun. It is the third comet co-discovered by Eleanor F. Helin and Kenneth J. Lawrence.
== Observational history == Both Helin and Lawrence discovered the diffuse trails of the comet from the photographic plates exposed from the Palomar Observatory on the night of 17 May 1993. At the time, it was a 17th-magnitude object within the constellation Scorpio. Shortly after the announcement of its discovery, Robert H. McNaught was able to observe it during the total lunar eclipse of 4 June 1995.
