NGC 2115A (also ESO 205-6A and PGC 18002) is a magnitude +15.1 Spiral galaxy located 321 million light-years away in the constellation Pictor.

The galaxy was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel using a 47.5 cm (18.7 inch) f/13 speculum reflecting telescope at the Cape of Good Hope on the 4th January 1837.

This object is not listed in the original version of "New general catalogue", but often referred to as NGC 2115A because it is paired with NGC 2115.
