IC 1615 is a spiral galaxy of the Hubble type Sbc in the constellation Phoenix in the southern sky . It is an estimated 339 million light-years from the Milky Way and about 130,000 light-years across. Presumably it forms a gravitationally bound galaxy pair together with IC 1617 .

The Type Ia supernova SN 2010jb was observed here.

The property was discovered by DeLisle Stewart in 1899 .
