NGC 7537 is a spiral galaxy located in the equatorial constellation of Pisces, about 1.5° to the NNW of Gamma Piscium.[1] It was first documented by German-born astronomer William Herschel on Aug 30, 1785. J. L. E.

This object forms a pair with the nearly edge-on barred spiral galaxy NGC 7541, and the two show signs of interaction. NGC 7537 has a curved tidal tail to the northeast with a length of Script error: No such module "convert"., while NGC 7541 has two tidal tails. They have a projected separation of Script error: No such module "convert"..[5]

A Type II supernova[6] designated SN 2002gd was detected by multiple independent observers beginning October 5, 2002. It was positioned Script error: No such module "val". east and Script error: No such module "val". north of the galactic nucleus of NGC 7537.[7]
