IC 4461 is a spiral galaxy located in the Boötes constellation, located at distance of 417 million light-years from both the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy.[3][4][5]

The galaxy was first discovered by Stephane Javelle on June 22, 1895 who found it as a faint and round object.[6] It is listed as PGC 52119 by Javelle.[6] Together with IC 4462, they make up Arp 95 in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, which they fall under galaxies with elliptical companions.[7] IC 4461 is sometimes confused with another spiral galaxy PGC 52120, which lies at a much further distance of 855 million light-years.[6]
