NGC 1428 is a peculiar galaxy[4] of an uncertain morphology; either an elliptical or lenticular galaxy[5] located approximately 65 million light-years away from Earth.[6]

It was discovered by astronomer Julius Schmidt on January 19, 1865.[7] It is a member of the Fornax Cluster.[8]

40 known globular clusters have been observed surrounding NGC 1428[9] along with 23 observed planetary nebulae.[10]
