NGC 4333 is a barred spiral galaxy with a ring structure [2] located about 330 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 13, 1784, [4] who described it as "F, pS, R, bM, 2nd of 3". [5] NGC 4333 is also classified as a LINER galaxy. [6] Despite being listed in the Virgo Cluster catalog as VCC 637, it is not a member of the Virgo Cluster but instead a background galaxy. [7]

NGC 4333 forms a pair with the galaxy NGC 4326, known as [T2015] nest 102514, [8] [9] in which NGC 4326 is the brightest member of the pair. [9] Both galaxies are part of the CfA2 Great Wall. [10]
