194 Prokne is a very large and dark main-belt asteroid. It has a primitive carbonaceous composition.

It was discovered by C. H. F. Peters on March 21, 1879 in Clinton, New York, and named after Procne, the sister of Philomela in Greek mythology.

Stellar occultations by Prokne have been observed twice, in 1984 from Italy and again in 1999 from Iowa (United States).
