'''NGC 5630''' is a [[barred spiral galaxy]] in the [[constellation]] of [[Boötes]]. Its velocity with respect to the [[cosmic microwave background]] is 2826 ± 11 km/s, which corresponds to a [[Hubble's law|Hubble distance]] of 41.68 ± 2.92 [[Megaparsec|Mpc]] (~136 million [[light-years]]).<ref name="ned" /> It was discovered by German-British astronomer [[William Herschel]] on 9 April 1787.<ref name="seg">{{cite web | url = https://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ngc56.htm#5630| title = Celestial Atlas entry for NGC 5630| last = Seligman | first = Courtney | website = cseligman.com | access-date = 8 August 2024 }}</ref>

NGC 5630 is listed as a [[field galaxy]], i.e. one does not belong to a larger [[Galaxy groups and clusters|galaxy group or cluster]] and hence is gravitationally alone.<ref>{{cite journal|bibcode=1976ApJS...32..409T |title=Groups of galaxies.
