'''NGC 5371''' is a face-on [[spiral galaxy]] in the northern [[constellation]] [[Canes Venatici]]. It was discovered on January 14, 1788 by German-British astronomer [[William Herschel]]. The nearby '''NGC 5390''' appears to be a duplicate entry for NGC 5371, since there is nothing at the former's position.<ref name=CSeligman/> NGC 5371 has an [[apparent magnitude]] of 11.3 and an [[angular size]] of {{val|4.4|×|3.5|u=arcminute}}.<ref name=König_Binnewies_2017/> It is located at a distance of {{convert|39.70|±|9.92|Mpc|e6ly|order=flip|lk=on}} from the [[Milky Way]],<ref name=Lelli_et_al_2016/> and is receding with a heliocentric [[radial velocity]] of 2,552 km/s. The galaxy appears to be weakly interacting with the nearby, equidistant [[Hickson Compact Group|Hickson 68 group]] of galaxies, and thus may be a member.<ref name=van_Driel_et_al_2061/> Collectively, they are sometimes dubbed the Big Lick galaxy group, after the city of [[Roanoke, Virginia]].<ref name=Webb_2014/>
[[File:Hickson 68 and NGC 5371 (50685694858).jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|NGC 5371 (left) and Hickson 68 (right)]] The [[Galaxy morphological classification|morphological classification]] of NGC 5371 in the De Vaucouleurs system is SAB(rs)bc,<ref name=König_Binnewies_2017/> indicating a weakly barred spiral galaxy (SAB) with a transitional inner ring structure (rs), and moderately wound spiral arms (bc). The [[galactic plane]] is inclined at an angle of {{val|45|5|u=°}} to the [[plane of the sky]], with the major axis oriented along a [[position angle]] of {{val|195|3|u=°}}.<ref name=Fridman_et_al_2005/> This is classified as a [[Low-ionization nuclear emission-line region|LINER]]-type galaxy and may be in a post-[[Starburst galaxy|starburst]] phase. There is an extended or double [[Astrophysical X-ray source|source of X-ray emission]].<ref name=Komossa_et_al_1999/>
Two [[supernova]]e have been observed in NGC 5371. [[Type II supernova|Type II-L supernova]] SN 1994Y was spotted on August 19, 1994, reaching peak [[UBV photometric system|B magnitude]] of 14.2 on August 30.<ref name=Tsvetkov_Pavlyuk_1997/> [[Type IIb supernova]] SN 2020bio was discovered January 29, 2020. The progenitor may have undergone extensive mass loss, shedding nearly all of its hydrogen envelope.<ref name=Pellegrino_et_al_2023/>
