NGC 5361 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Canes Venatici. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 5,840±19 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 280.9 ± 19.7 Mly (86.13 ± 6.04 Mpc). It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 16 May 1787.

NGC 5361 has a possible active galactic nucleus, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.

NGC 5361 and UGC 8858 [d] form pair of galaxies. The grouping is known as [T2015] nest 103103.
