Stellar groups have been catalogued and analyzed from the obser- vation of individual stars in the galaxy NGC 300. The research was conducted using images from the ACS/HST from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). The analysis has been carried out by system- atically searching star clusters. Their respective radial density pro¯les have been derived taking into account each star colour. Photometric di- agrams of the clusters and their surrounding stellar ¯elds have also been built. The data thus obtained has permitted us to make a detailed study of several previously catalogued clusters and to ¯nd some unknown ones. We have estimated some of the clusters' basic parameters as well as the characteristicas of the stellar populations present in our target galaxy.
