The nearest galaxy of similar size to the Milky Way is the Andromeda galaxy. That's about 2.5 million light years away.

We do have nearer neighbors, usually called "dwarf galaxies". The nearest is the Canis Major dwarf, which is only about 25,000 light years from Earth.

The famous "Magellanic Clouds" are a bit more than 150,000 light years away.
