796 Sarita is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
It was discovered 15 October 1914 by German astronomer Karl W. Reinmuth.
This is a main belt that is orbiting at a radius of 2.63 AU with a period of 4.28 yr and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.32.
Tholen (1989) initially classified it as type XD, although later authors treated it as an M-class body.
The object's visual albedo is considered characteristic of the latter type.
