NGC 7038 is an intermediate spiral galaxy located about 210 million light-years away in the constellation of Indus. ^{[2] [3]} Astronomer John Herschel discovered NGC 7038 on September 30, 1834. ^[4]

NGC 7038 along with NGC 7014 are the brightest members of Abell 3742. ^{[5] [6]} Abell 3742 is located near the center of the Pavo–Indus Supercluster. ^[7]
