S/2006 S 1 is a natural satellite of Saturn. Its discovery was announced by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, Jan Kleyna, and Brian G. Marsden on June 26, 2006 from observations taken between January 4 and April 30, 2006. S/2006 S 1 is about 6 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 18,930.2 Mm in 972.407 days, at an inclination of 154.2° to the ecliptic (175.4° to Saturn's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.1303.

This moon has not been seen since its discovery in 2006 and is currently considered lost.^[1]^[2]^[3]
