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."{{cite web|title=New General Catalog Objects: NGC 350 - 399|url=http://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ngc3a.htm#364|publisher=Cseligman|access-date=November 25, 2016}}
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.
