NGC 2566 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Puppis. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1898 ± 19 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 91.3 ± 6.5 Mly (28.00 ± 1.98 Mpc). However, five non-redshift measurements give a much closer distance of 35.39 ± 8.42 Mly (10.852 ± 2.583 Mpc). It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 6 March 1785.
