We present the first high-resolution X-ray image of the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 3226. The data were obtained during an observation of the nearby Seyfert Galaxy NGC 3227 using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. We detect a point X-ray source spatially consistent with the optical nucleus of NGC 3226 and a recently detected, compact, flat-spectrum radio source. The X-ray spectrum can be measured up to ~10 keV and is consistent with a power law with a photon index 1.7 Γ 2.2 or thermal bremsstrahlung emission with 4 keV kT 10 keV. In both cases, the luminosity in the 2-10 keV band 1040 h ergs s-1. We find marginal evidence that the nucleus varies within the observation. These characteristics support evidence from other wave bands that NGC 3226 harbors a low-luminosity active nucleus. We also comment on two previously unknown, fainter X-ray sources 15'' from the nucleus of NGC 3226. Their proximity to the nucleus (with projected distances of 1.3 h kpc) suggests both are within NGC 3226 and thus have luminosities (approximately a few times 1038 to a few times 1039 ergs s-1) consistent with black hole binary systems.
