This list of nearest terrestrial exoplanets contains known terrestrial exoplanets at a distance of up to 50 light-years from the Solar System, ordered by increasing distance.

Name	Image (artist concept)	Mass (M⊕)	Semi-major axis (AU)	Eccentricity	habitable?	Main source	Star	Distance from Sol (ly)
Gliese 876 d		6,8	0,021	0,21	Surface temperature estimate: 157-377°C		Gliese 876	15
Gliese 581 e		1,7	0,029	0	It is unlikely to possess an atmosphere due to its high temperature		Gliese 581	20
Gliese 581 c		5,6	0,072	0	likely to lie outside the habitable zone		Gliese 581	20
Gliese 581 d		5,6	0,218	0	within the habitable zone		Gliese 581	20
61 Virginis b		5,1	0,050	0,12	orbits too close to the star		61 Virginis	28
HD 85512 b		3,6	0.26	0.11	considered to be the best candidate for habitability as of August 25, 2011		HD 85512	36
55 Cancri e		8,6	0,016	0,17	orbits too close to the star		55 Cancri	40
HD 40307 b	File:HD 40307 B.jpg	4,2	0,047	0	orbits too close to the star		HD 40307	42
HD 40307 c	File:HD 40307 C.jpg	6,8	0,081	0	orbits too close to the star		HD 40307	42
HD 40307 d	File:Planets of HD 40307.jpg	9,2	0,134	0	orbits too close to the star		HD 40307	42

Note: all masses except of 55 Cancri e, HD 40307 b and Gliese 876 d are minimal masses
