NGC 4065 is an elliptical galaxy located 300 million light-years away ^[2] in the constellation Coma Berenices. ^[3] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785. It was then rediscovered by John Herschel on April 29, 1832 and was listed as NGC 4057. ^[4] NGC 4065 is the brightest ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]} member of the NGC 4065 Group. ^{[5] [9] [10] [6] [11] [12] [13] [7] [14] [15]}

NGC 4065 is a companion of NGC 4061. ^{[10] [16]} The two galaxies form an interacting ^{[16] [6]} pair, as evidenced by distortions in their optical isophotes. ^{[6] [11]}
