Our solar system is in the milky way. That is the name of our galaxy so no planet is the closest.

And moreover, besides that additionally as well too, all of the planets orbiting

other stars that are presently being discovered by the Kepler space telescope

are in the Milky Way Galaxy, so none of them is the 'closest' either.

There are several dwarf galaxies very close to us, for example, the two Magellanic Clouds - which can be seen with the naked eye, at least if you live in the Southern Hemisphere. The Local Group - the galaxy cluster of which we are part - contains large galaxies too; apart from the Milky Way, there is the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy. The Local Group also contains other dwarf galaxies - about 30 in total.

There are two "dwarf galaxies" that are satellite galaxies of the Milky Way; they are the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. They are the closest.

The Milky Way is a galaxy, so there's no other one closer to its center than itself.
