NGC 4302 is an edge-on spiral galaxy[3] located about 55 million light-years away[3][4] in the constellation Coma Berenices. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1784[5] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster.[4][6][7]

It is classified as a Seyfert galaxy and as a LINER galaxy.[3][8] It also has a prominent, extended dust lane.[9][10]
