NGC 4060 is a lenticular galaxy located 320 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Coma Berenices.[3] It was discovered by astronomer Albert Marth on March 18, 1865[4] and is a member of the NGC 4065 Group[5][6][7][8][9] which is part of the Coma Supercluster.[5][6][8][10]

NGC 4060 is classified as a LINER galaxy.[11]
