NGC 7836 is an irregular spiral galaxy located about 260 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda.[2][3] It is part of the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster. This galaxy was discovered by American astronomer Lewis Swift on September 20, 1885.[3] It has an apparent visual magnitude of 14.4 and spans an angular size of 0.9 × 0.5.[1]

NGC 7836 is a member of the NGC 7831 Group (also known as LGG 1), which contains at least 18 galaxies.[4][5][3][6]
