Our nearest planetary neighbor to Earth would be Venus, (which is closer than Mars orbiting further away from the Sun). Venus is sometimes referred to as our sister planet, being the most similar in size to Earth.

The nearest stellar neighbor to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf not visible to the naked eye, a little over 4 light years away. Close to it, the nearest visible stellar neighbor to us is the binary star Alpha Centauri.

The nearest galaxy to us is likely the Canis Major overdensity about 25,000 light years from us, although its status is somewhat disputed. An even closer, unusualy globular cluster Omega Centauri at only 15,000 light years distance might be a dwarf galaxy.
