We present results from a Chandra X-ray observation of the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 4214, a galaxy containing several young star forming regions. Starburst regions are known to be associated with diffuse X-ray emission, and in this case X-ray emission from the galaxy shows an interesting morphological structure with a bright X-ray ring of emission within the galaxy.
