NGC 4065 is an elliptical galaxy located 300 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Coma Berenices.[3] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785. It was then rediscovered by John Herschel on April 29, 1832 and was listed as NGC 4057.[4] NGC 4065 is the brightest[5] member of the NGC 4065 Group.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

NGC 4065 is a companion of NGC 4061. The two galaxies form an interacting[15] [16] pair, as evidenced by distortions in their optical isophotes.

It is classified as a radio galaxy.
