594 CCD images were taken of the main-belt asteroid (21652) 1999 OQ2 through a Bessel R-band filter over the course of four nights. Differential photometric reduction and Fourier transformation of the relative magnitudes show a period of 16.207 ± 0.002h with a mean R magnitude of 14.05 and a lightcurve amplitude of 0.9 magnitudes. Compared on average with similar-sized asteroids, 1999 OQ2 rotates more slowly and has a larger amplitude, suggesting a highly elongated shape.
