NGC 2550A is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Camelopardalis. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3670 ± 10 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 176.5 ± 12.4 Mly (54.12 ± 3.79 Mpc). The discovery of this galaxy is credited to Philip C. Keenan, in his paper Studies of Extra-Galactic Nebulae. Part I: Determination of Magnitudes, published in The Astrophysical Journal in 1935.
