An algorithm is developed for computing the nth gravitational multipole moment of an asymptotically flat, empty, stationary axisymmetric space-time. The moments are expressed in terms of the expansion coefficients of the Ernst potential on the axis of symmetry. The values of the first ten multipole moments are given.
