NGC 871 is a barred spiral galaxy in the Aries constellation.[1] Its discovery and first description was realized by William Herschel on October 14, 1784[2] and the findings made public through his Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars in 1786.

By using the galaxies' radial velocities and distances as a grouping factor, astronomers assign this galaxy to LGG (Lyon Groups of Galaxies) 53 along with 8 other members (UGC 1693, UGC 1761, NGC 876, NGC 877, UGC 1817, IC 1791 and UGC 1773).[3][4]
