1724 Vladimir, provisional designation 1932 DC, is a rare-type asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, approximately 37 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 28 February 1932, by Belgian astronomer Eugène Delporte at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Uccle, Belgium.
The asteroid has a rare B- and FBCU spectral type in the Tholen and SMASS taxonomy, respectively. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.6–2.9 AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,632 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.06 and an inclination of 12° with respect to the ecliptic.
Vladimir has a rotation period of 12.6 hours and a low albedo around 0.04, according to the surveys carried out by Akari, WISE and NEOWISE.
The minor planet was named by Serbian astronomer Milorad Protić, who rediscovered the body in 1952 and made its permanent numbering possible (also see Lost minor planet). Protić named it after his grandson, Vladimir. Naming citation was published on 1 April 1980 (M.P.C. 5281).
