NGC 7038 is an intermediate spiral galaxy located about 210 million light-years away in the constellation of Indus. Astronomer John Herschel discovered NGC 7038 on September 30, 1834.

NGC 7038 along with NGC 7014 are the brightest members of Abell 3742. Abell 3742 is located near the center of the Pavo–Indus Supercluster.
