NGC 4183 is a spiral galaxy with a faint core and an open spiral structure located about 55 million light-years from the Sun. Spanning about eighty thousand light-years, it appears in the constellation of Canes Venatici. NGC 4183 was observed for the first time by British astronomer William Herschel on 14 January 1788.

NGC 4183 is a member of the NGC 4111 Group,[3][4] which is part of the Ursa Major Cloud and is the second largest group in the cloud after the NGC 3992 Group.[5][6][7]

One supernova has been observed in NGC 4183: SN 1968U (type unknown, mag. 14.5) was discovered by Justus R. Dunlap on 29 October 1968.[8][9]
