NGC 5328 is a 11.7 mag bright elliptical galaxy of the Hubble type "E1" in the constellation Water Snake south of the ecliptic . It is estimated to be 206 million light years away from the Milky Way and has a diameter of around 110,000 ly. Together with NGC 5330 , it probably forms a gravitationally bound galaxy pair.
The object was discovered on May 5, 1793 by Wilhelm Herschel with an 18.7-inch reflector telescope, who described it as "vF, vS, R, lbM". During his observations with an 18-inch reflecting telescope in 1847, John Herschel noted: "B, lE, sbM, 20 arcseconds" and "pB, R, lbM, 20 arcseconds".
