==Members== The table below lists galaxies that have been identified as associated with the Sculptor Galaxy (and hence associated with the group) by I. D.

NGC, IC, UGC, and [[Principal Galaxies Catalogue|PGC]] numbers have been used when possible to allow for easier referencing. ===Field galaxies=== The irregular galaxy [[NGC 55]], the spiral galaxy [[NGC 300]], and their companion galaxies have been considered by many researchers to be part of this group. However, recent distance measurements to these and other galaxies in the same region of the sky show that NGC 55, NGC 300, and their companions may simply be foreground galaxies that are physically unassociated with the Sculptor Group.<ref name="karachentsevetal2003" /> The galaxies [[NGC 24]] and [[NGC 45]] are located in the vicinity of the Sculptor Group, but are now considered background objects.<ref name=Chemin2006>{{cite journal | title=H I Studies of the Sculptor Group Galaxies.
