+title: Object is not an Enum Error
+---
+
+# Object is not an Enum Error
+
+## Description
+
+This error is thrown when applying `@strawberry.enum` to a non-enum object, for
+example the following code will throw this error:
+
+```python
+import strawberry
+
+
+# note the lack of @strawberry.enum here:
+class NotAnEnum:
+    A = "A"
+
+
+@strawberry.type
+class Query:
+    field: NotAnEnum
+
+
+schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query)
+```
+
+This happens because Strawberry expects all enums to be subclasses of `Enum`.
+
+## How to fix this error
+
+You can fix this error by making sure the class you're applying
+`@strawberry.enum` to is a subclass of `Enum`. For example, the following code
+will fix this error:
+
+```python
+import strawberry
+
+
+@strawberry.enum
+class NotAnEnum:
+    A = "A"
+
+
+@strawberry.type
+class Query:
+    field: NotAnEnum
+
+
+schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query)
+```
