IC 5332, also known as PGC 71775, is an intermediate spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. It was discovered by American astronomer Lewis Swift on 19 November 1897.{{cite journal |last=Swift |first=L. |title=Catalogue No. 11 of Nebulae |journal=Astronomische Nachrichten |volume=147 |year=1898 |page=209 |doi=10.1002/asna.18981471302 |bibcode=1898AN....147..209S |url=https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1898AN....147..209S}}{{cite web | url = https://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ic53.htm#ic5332 | title = Index Catalogue Objects: IC{{nbsp}}5332 | last = Seligman | first = Courtney | website = Celestial Atlas | access-date = 10 June 2025}} IC 5332 is too faint to be visible to the naked eye, with an apparent magnitude of 10.72. Viewed from earth, it is nearly face on. It has a very small central bulge and open spiral arms accounting for its SABc classification. The galaxy lies in the direction of the galactic south pole.

IC 5332 is a late type spiral galaxy with observable star formation ongoing, though at such a low rate as to be a stable non-starburst galaxy.{{cite web | url=http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~knapton/ic5332.htm | title=IC5332 }} It is a somewhat tenuous spiral galaxy with a very low surface brightness of just 23.8 mag/squ arc sec.

IC 5332 has also been observed in detail by the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI). MIRI's high-resolution mid-infrared image pierced the dust clouds obscuring the galaxy's spiral arms, revealing the galaxy's structures in high detail. These structures were previously hidden in both visible and ultraviolet light observations.{{Cite web |last=information@eso.org |title=Webb's Icy Instrument Reveals Complex Structures {{!}} ESA/Webb |url=https://esawebb.org/images/comparisons/potm2209a/ |access-date=2024-05-21 |website=esawebb.org |language=en}}
