Keberos S/2011 P 1 is a small satellite of Pluto. It was discovered in images by the Hubble Space Telescope in June 2011 and was named after Hydra, the nine-headed serpent in Greek mythology. It was named for Cerberus the Hound of Hades in Greek mythology.

Hydra was introduced to Orbiter with the release of New Horizons Pluto Encounter.zip in July 2015.
