List of nearest galaxies

This is a list of known galaxies within 3.8 megaparsecs (12.4 million light-years) of the Solar System, in ascending order of heliocentric distance, or the distance to the Sun.

The list aims to reflect current knowledge: not all galaxies within the 3.8 Mpc radius have been discovered.

Nearby dwarf galaxies are still being discovered, and galaxies located behind the central plane of the Milky Way are extremely difficult to discern.

Intergalactic distance measurements are subject to large uncertainties.

Figures listed are composites of many measurements, some of which may have had their individual error bars tightened to the point of no longer overlapping with each other.
