NGC 1325 is a barred spiral galaxy situated in constellation of Eridanus. Located about 73 milion light years, it is a member of the Eridanus cluster of galaxies, a cluster of about 200 galaxies. It was discovered by William Herschel on 19 December 1799.

NGC 1325 has a Hubble classification of SBbc, which indicates it is a barred spiral galaxy. It is moving from away from the Milky Way at a rate of 1,589 km/s. Its size on the night sky is 4.8' x 1.6' which is proportional to its real size of the 102 000 ly.
