The closest galaxy has to be the one we call the "Milky Way", since the sun is one of

the stars in it, and we and our whole solar system are inside it.

The next closest is the one we call the "Andromeda Galaxy" because we see it among

the stars of the "Andromeda" constellation. It's something like 2.5 million light years

distant from us.
