NGC 3613 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1793.[4] NGC 3613 is the center of a cluster of galaxies, and has an estimated globular cluster population of over 2,000.[3]

In 2011, SN 2011eh, a type Ia supernova with a peculiar spectrum, was detected within NGC 3613.[5]
