(2530) Shipka is an asteroid of the main belt that was discovered on July 9, 1978 by the Russian astronomer Lyudmila Ivanovna Tschernych at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj ( IAU code 095).

The asteroid belongs to the Eos family, a group of asteroids, which typically have large semiaxes from 2.95 to 3.1 AU , bounded inward by the Kirkwood gap of the 7: 3 resonance with Jupiter , and orbital inclinations between 8 ° and 12 °. The group is named after the asteroid (221) Eos . The family is believed to have emerged from a collision more than a billion years ago.

The celestial body was named after the Shipka Pass in the Bulgarian Balkan Mountains , the site of the Battle of the Shipka Pass during the Russo-Ottoman War .
