NGC 60 is an Sc type spiral galaxy in the Pisces constellation. It was discovered on 2 November 1882 by Édouard Stephan.

NGC 60 is noticed for its unusually distorted spiral arms, which are commonly due to gravitational effects of neighboring galaxies, but there are no galaxies around NGC 60 to allow this.

Supernova One supernovae has been observed in NGC 60: SN 2023zba (TypeII-P, mag. 18.8) was discovered by the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey on 7 December 2023.
