This is a list of NGC objects 1–1000 from the New General Catalogue (NGC). The astronomical catalogue is composed mainly of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.
The NGC contains 7,840 objects, including galaxies, star clusters and emission nebulae. Dreyer published two supplements to the NGC in 1895 and 1908, known as the Index Catalogues (abbreviated IC), describing a further 5,386 astronomical objects. Thousands of these objects are best known by their NGC or IC numbers, which remain in widespread use.

Articles with the NGC number in the title use [[Category:NGC objects|####]], dropping the NGC prefix, and using only the number. The number should be padded up to 4 digits using zeroes. Articles without the NGC number in the title use [[Category:NGC objects]]. A redirect containing the NGC number should also be added to the category, sorted as ...
