∙ 9y agoA galaxy named Andromeda is closest to the Milky Way. In fact, these two galaxies are headed on a collision course (which is still some billions of years away, though).
There are also dwarf galaxies nearer to the Milky Way, the largest being the two "Magellanic Clouds" that orbit our galaxy. Each of these contains several hundred million stars. In addition, there are 11 other identified local dwarf galaxies.
The closest galaxy to the milkyway is andromeda galaxy. 2.56 million light years away from us.

∙ 11y agoIt depends on where in Milky Way you measure from, but the closest to us is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy. In fact, we are closer to it than we are to the center of the Milky Way by several thousand light-years, and it is currently in the process of being incorporated into the Milky Way.
The next spiral galaxy to us is the king of our local group--Andromeda. The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away, and is only a little bit larger than the Milky Way.
