NGC 364 is a barred lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 2, 1864, by Albert Marth. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, very small."[2]

The galaxy is both visually and physically close to the elliptical galaxy NGC 359. A recent gravitational interaction between the two galaxies has created a large, faint tidal tail extending away from NGC 359 towards and below NGC 364. A small tidal star shell intersects this tail, strengthening the likelihood for a recent disturbance.
