NGC 4211 is a pair of interacting lenticular galaxies located 300 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It was discovered on April 30, 1881, by astronomer Édouard Stephan. NGC 4211 is a field galaxy and is part of the Coma Supercluster.
NGC 4211 is a LINER galaxy, and is host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 8.3 × 108 M☉.
