NGC 3254 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo Minor. It was discovered on March 13, 1785, by the astronomer William Herschel. It is a member of the NGC 3254 Group of galaxies, which is a member of the Leo II Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out from the right edge of the Virgo Supercluster.

Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 3254:

  • SN 1941B (type unknown, mag. 15.1) was discovered by Josef J. Johnson on 25 March 1941.
  • SN 2019np (type Ia, mag. 13.0) was discovered by Kōichi Itagaki on 9 January 2019. This supernova was the brightest observed in the year 2019.
