NGC 3806 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Leo.^[1] Its velocity relative to the cosmic microwave background is 3829 ± 24 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 56.5 ± 4.0 Mpc (∼184 million ly).^[1] NGC 3806 was discovered by Prussian astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest in 1862.^[2]

Opinions differ on the classification of NGC 3806, intermediate spiral according to the NASA/IPAC and LEDA databases and barred spiral according to Professor Seligman and by Wolfgang Steinicke. The luminosity class of NGC 3806 is II and it has a broad HI line.^[3]
