NGC 3501 is an edge-on spiral galaxy 80 million light years away, located in the constellation Leo. It was discovered on 23 April 1881 by French astronomer Édouard Stephan.[5] NGC 3501 is a young galaxy, consisting mostly of stars aged between 2 and 8 billion years.[4]

NGC 3501 was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2014, showing an edge-on spiral galaxy; its companion NGC 3507 is not included in the photograph.[6] It is a member of the NGC 3607 Group of galaxies, which is a member of the Leo II Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out from the right edge of the Virgo Supercluster.[7]
