This article contains a list of the nearest black holes near the Solar System, that is within the Milky Way galaxy. Most black holes are thought to be solitary and not in a binary (or more) system. However, it is almost impossible to detect such a black hole aside from measuring its gravitational distortions on the light from visually nearby objects. Black holes in binary systems, despite constituting a minority of all black holes, are much easier to detect.
