NGC 3625 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Ursa Major. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is , which corresponds to a Hubble distance of . However, five non-redshift measurements give a farther mean distance of . It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 8 April 1793.
NGC 3625 has a possible active galactic nucleus, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.
