815 Coppelia is a minor planet orbiting the Sun that was discovered by German astronomer Max Wolf on February 2, 1916 from Heidelberg.
Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Rozhen Observatory in Bulgaria during 2010 gave a light curve with a period of 4.4565 hours and a brightness variation of 0.24 in magnitude. This is consistent with a period of 4.421 hours and an amplitude of 0.27 obtained during a 2006 study.
