NGC 5005 (also known as Caldwell 29) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Canes Venatici. It's measured distance has ranged between 45 and 113 light years away. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1785.

This galaxy has as a low-ionization nuclear emission-line region nucleus. This means that the gas at its center is emitting ionized gas. This is likely due to a super-massive black hole at its core.
