'''NGC 5334''' is a face-on [[barred spiral galaxy]] in the [[constellation]] [[Virgo (constellation)|Virgo]]. Its velocity with respect to the [[cosmic microwave background]] is 1668 ± 20{{nbsp}}km/s, which corresponds to a [[Hubble's law|Hubble distance]] of {{convert|24.60 ± 1.75|Mpc|Mly|abbr=on|lk=on|order=flip}}.<ref name="ned" /> However, five ''non-redshift'' measurements give a distance of {{convert|33.320 ± 2.283|Mpc|Mly|abbr=on|lk=on|order=flip}}.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/nDistance?name=NGC+5334 | title = Distance Results for NGC{{nbsp}}5334 | website = NASA/IPAC EXTRAGALACTIC DATABASE | publisher = [[NASA]] | access-date = 23 November 2024}}</ref> It was discovered by [[Germany|German-British]] astronomer [[William Herschel]] on 15 April 1787.<ref name="selig">{{cite web | url = https://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ngc53.htm#5334 | title = New General Catalogue Objects: NGC{{nbsp}}5334 | last = Seligman | first = Courtney | website = Celestial Atlas | access-date = 23 November 2024}}</ref> It was also observed by American astronomer [[Lewis Swift]] on 20 April 1897 and listed in the [[New_General_Catalogue#Index_Catalogue|Index Catalogue]] as IC 4338.<ref name="selig" />

NGC 5334 is a member of the [[Virgo III Groups]], a series of galaxies and [[galaxy cluster]]s strung out to the east of the [[Virgo Supercluster]] of galaxies.<ref name="atlas universe">{{cite web | title=The Virgo III Groups |work=Atlas of the Universe |url=http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/galgrps/viriii.html |access-date=2010-11-27 }}</ref>

Although no [[supernova]]e have been observed in NGC 5334 yet, a [[luminous blue variable]], designated SN{{nbsp}}2003gm (type LBV, mag. 17), was discovered on 6 July 2003.<ref>{{cite web | website=Transient Name Server | title=SN{{nbsp}}2003gm | url=https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2003gm | publisher = [[International_Astronomical_Union|IAU]] | access-date=23 November 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web
