View source for List of nearest supergiants

{{Short description|none}}
{{use mdy dates|cs1-dates=yy|date=December 2023}}
This is a list of the nearest [[supergiant]] stars to Earth, located at a distance of up to {{Convert|1100|ly|pc|abbr=off}} from Earth. Some of the [[List of brightest stars|brightest stars in the night sky]], such as [[Rigel]] and [[Antares]], are in the list.

While supergiants are typically defined as stars with [[Stellar classification|luminosity classes]] {{mono|Ia}}, {{mono|Iab}} or {{mono|Ib}}, other definitions exist, such as those based on [[stellar evolution]].<ref name="rsgs2" /> Therefore, stars with other luminosity classes can sometimes be considered supergiants.
