List of nearest hypergiants

This is a list of the nearest hypergiant stars to Earth, located at a distance of up to from Earth.
While hypergiants are typically defined as stars with luminosity classes, or, other definitions exist, such as those based on stellar evolution. Therefore, stars with other luminosity classes can sometimes be considered hypergiants.
