NGC 701 is a spiral galaxy with a high star formation rate in the constellation Cetus. It is estimated to be 86 million light years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 65,000 light years. The object was discovered on January 10, 1785 by the German-British astronomer William Herschel.

NGC 701 is a member of the MCG 02-05-053 Group (also known as LGG 33), which contains four galaxies, including NGC 701, NGC 681, MCG 02-05-053 and IC 1738.
