NGC 3311 is a super-giant^[2] elliptical galaxy^[3] (a type-cD galaxy)^[4]^[3] located about 190 million light-years away^[5] in the constellation Hydra.^[6] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on March 30, 1835.^[7]^[8] NGC 3311 is the brightest^[9]^[10] member of the Hydra Cluster^[11] and forms a pair with NGC 3309 which along with NGC 3311, dominate the central region of the Hydra Cluster.^[12]

NGC 3311 is surrounded by a rich and extensive globular cluster system^[13] rivaling that of Messier 87 in the Virgo Cluster.^[4]
