NGC 1614 is the New General Catalogue identifier for a spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation of Eridanus.

It was discovered on December 29, 1885 by American astronomer Lewis Swift, who described it in a shorthand notation as: pretty faint, small, round, a little brighter middle.

The SB indicates this is a barred spiral galaxy, while the '(s)' means it lacks a ring-like structure around the nucleus.

The interaction between the two galaxies is triggering a burst of star formation in NGC 1614,[8] although not apparently an active galactic nucleus.

[10] In the core region, a 230 pc radius ring feature has formed around the nucleus within the last 5−10 million years from an inflow of gas caused by the merger event, and this structure is the site of the intense star forming activity known as a starburst region.
