We analyze the rotation curves of 10 spiral galaxies with a newtonian potential corrected with an extra logarithmic term. The logarithmic correction can have its origin from fundamental frameworks, like string theories or effective models of gravity due to quantum effects. There is also a connection with some toy models resulting from TeVeS. We represent the spiral galaxies as a thin disk. There is a new constant associated with the extra term in the potential. The rotation curve of the chosen sample of spiral galaxies is well reproduced for a narrow range of the new constant. The compatibility of this correction with local physics is discussed.
