NGC 4027 (also known as Arp 22) is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 68 million light-years away in the constellation Corvus. It is also a peculiar galaxy because one of its spiral arms goes out more than the other. This is probably due to a galactic collision in NGC 4027's past.

NGC 4027 is part of the NGC 4038 group of galaxies along with the Antennae Galaxies.
