337 Devosa is a large Main belt asteroid. It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 22 September 1892 in Nice. The asteroid is orbiting the Sun at a distance of with a period of and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.14. These orbital elements are similar to that of the large asteroid 4 Vesta. The orbital plane of 337 Devosa is tilted at an angle of 7.85° to the plane of the ecliptic. This is classified as an X-type asteroid in the Tholen system and Xk type in the Bus-DeMeo taxonomy, with spectral properties similar to mesosiderites. It spans a girth of and has a rotation period of .
