We report the discovery by the ground-based HATNet survey of the transitingexoplanet HAT-P-68b, which has a mass of 0.724 $\pm$ 0.043 $M_{Jup}$, andradius of 1.072 $\pm$ 0.012 $R_{Jup}$. The planet is in a circular P =2.2984-day orbit around a moderately bright V = 13.937 $\pm$ 0.030 magnitude Kdwarf star of mass 0.673 $+$ 0.020 $-$0.014 $M_{\odot}$, and radius 0.6726$\pm$ 0.0069 $R_{\odot}$. The planetary nature of this system is confirmedthrough follow-up transit photometry obtained with the FLWO~1.2m telescope,high-precision RVs measured using Keck-I/HIRES, FLWO~1.5m/TRES, andOHP~1.9m/Sophie, and high-spatial-resolution speckle imaging fromWIYN~3.5m/DSSI. HAT-P-68 is at an ecliptic latitude of $+3^{\circ}$ and outsidethe field of view of both the NASA TESS primary mission and the K2 mission. Thelarge transit depth of 0.036 mag ($r$-band) makes HAT-P-68b a promising targetfor atmospheric characterization via transmission spectroscopy.
