NGC 7610 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus. Discovered by Andrew Ainslie Common in August 1880, it was accidentally "rediscovered" by him the same month, and later given the designation NGC 7616.{{cite web|last1=Seligman|first1=Courtney|title=NGC Objects: NGC 7600 - 7649|url=http://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ngc76.htm#7610|website=Celestial Atlas|accessdate=17 February 2017}}

One supernova has been observed in NGC 7610: SN 2013fs (type II-P, mag. 16.5) was discovered by Kōichi Itagaki on 7 October 2013.{{cite journal|bibcode=2013CBET.3671....1N |title=Supernova 2013fs in NGC 7610 = PSN J23194467+1011045 |last1=Nakano |first1=S. |last2=Noguchi |first2=T. |last3=Masi |first3=Gianluca |last4=Nocentini |first4=Francesca |last5=Schmeer |first5=Patrick |last6=Childress |first6=M. |last7=Scalzo |first7=R. |last8=Yuan |first8=F. |last9=Schmidt |first9=B. |last10=Tucker |first10=B. |journal=Central Bureau Electronic Telegrams |date=2013 |volume=3671 |page=1 }}{{cite web | website=Transient Name Server | title=SN{{nbsp}}2013fs | url=https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2013fs | publisher = IAU | access-date=15 January 2025}} It was detected approximately 3 hours after the light from the explosion reached Earth, and within a few hours optical spectra were obtained - the earliest such observations ever made of a supernova.
