NGC 4061 is an elliptical galaxy located 310 light-years away[2] in the constellation Coma Berenices.[3] It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785. It was rediscovered by John Herschel on April 29, 1832. It is listed both as NGC 4061 and NGC 4055.[4] NGC 4061 is a member of the NGC 4065 Group[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and forms an interacting[14][15] pair with its companion, NGC 4065[8][14] as evidenced by distortions in their optical isophotes.[15][9]

NGC 4061 is classified as a radio galaxy[7][15][9][16][17][18][11][19] with a Fanaroff and Riley classification of type I.[20]
