7167 Laupheim is an asteroid in the Main belt orbiting the Sun. It was discovered in 1985 at the Palomar Observatory by Carolyn S. Shoemaker and Eugene Shoemaker.
After visiting the public observatory in Laupheim, Germany, in 1998, Carolyn Shoemaker was so enthusiastic by the work done by this institution that she had asteroid 1985 TD3 named after the city on 4 May 1999.
