(95625) 2002 GX32, also written as (95625) 2002 GX32, is a trans-Neptunian object that resides in the scattered disc region of the Solar System. It was discovered on April 8, 2002 by Marc W. Buie, Amy B. Jordan, and James L. Elliot.

It is in a 3:7 orbital resonance with the planet Neptune, which means it completes three orbits around the Sun in the period of time of seven of Neptune's orbits.
